Ran open 5/13 with ismellfishy, Paul, Chris, Ginny, Mike and Jim. Got bait first thing and threw the plugs out while we were looking. Got one pretty quick. Trolled a bit more but didn't like what I saw so we moved and set up on a drift withive baits. Didn't like that either. Went over to where we had em yesterday and put the baits back in. Couple window shoppers and ismellfishy's horrible horrible rig/whatever he calls it hooks a fish and after too long loses it. Mike got one like a pro. Jim let one run but couldn't hook up. Had enough of that and put the plugs back out. Rod goes off quick, ismellfishy lost that one too, thanks drew! Picked some more and lost a couple more. Wind against tide made it tough for us. They managed 6 good ones to around 20-25lbs.
Had Glenn Thomas's charter of 5 on 5/12. Came out and looked around saw some reads. Through the plugs in, got one and lost one. Picked up and decided to look elsewhere. Through the plugs in again and right about when I was gonna say pick em up let's grab bait now, one on. Couldn't even keep the plugs in the water. The boys boxed up their boat limit + by 9:30am. Tried to grab some bait and play around but it was too scattered. The boys wanted to troll a bit more and then headed home early.
Had Jeff Rocco's charter for stripes today. Headed out in the thickkkkk fog and we were greeted with fish right away. The guys and gal got the job done quick today. Limit by 8am and boat limit by 9am. Boated over 20 fish today, 15 taking a boat ride home with us, a few shorts and a few releases on the day. Another great day! Called it an early one. Finally seems like spring is here!!! Beautiful weather. I love it.
Ran open Mother's Day with Bob, John, Jim, Jim, Albert and Doc. Well, we got to the grounds and the machine was lit up with readings. Put the plugs out at o dark thirty and it was game on. Had 6 fish to 20lbs in the boat in 15 minutes. A few more misses and one lost. Went back over for another pass. That was it. They vanished. The boys called it an early day. They didn't even want me to look anymore. Didn't catch limits, but it Beautiful day though! We'll see what tomorrow brings!
Friday 5/9 AM We had Dustin's charter of four. Headed out in pea soup fog, but that didn't stop the bass from eating. Put the plugs out and it was game on fishing. One after the other after the other. The guys had their limits + before 8:30am. Over 20 fish hooked, landing 12 to over 20lbs and one short.
Friday 5/9 PM We ran open with Wayne, Jim, Adam, Henry, Jim and Rod. Headed right back to where we were this morning and nada. Looked around with the plugs a bit and got one and 2 shorts. Moved a bit and found em real good. Better than the AM trip. Absolutely wrecked em. 8 yr old Adam laid the smack down on those fish. He put those Avet sx reels to work! Nothing better then
