Got the word that they were in the bay today. Headed out solo leaving port at 12:45. Set up along side working birds and two other boats working the same area. Only had artificials. First cast with a 6" Pearl storm shad and had a bump thinking this is going to be good. Next cast fishon... Half way to the boat drag peeling off, a head shake and no fish. Shad absolutely intact minus an eye. No other marks. Another cast same situation. Need to improve the hook set using the TICA. Third cast a blue steals my shad. Meanwhile the guy next to me is bailing blues on diamond jigs. Went through the arsenal of storms. No more Pearls. Tried 3 other colors no takers.
Changed over to 4 oz crippled herring. Now that's the ticket
Got my two fish. First one 28 1/2" the other 30". Left them biting and had to run. 1 hr then off to gas up. AH marina 3 bucks a gallon. It's about time things are starting to align..
Get out there and get em. Hopefully, saturdays weather doesn't screw things up.
