The weather was cold and rainy this morning but the Bay was like glass. There was a small breeze out of the south to start the morning. I set up in the dark and it did not get light too quickly. After fishing for about 15 minutes without a bite, I thought that today was going to turn out to be a skunking. But then, my pole started bouncing and I heaved in a nice perch. The next half hour I could only fish with 1 pole as the fish were biting almost as soon as the bait hit bottom. I caught about 15 fish today and threw back 6. The keepers were all nice fish from 8 to 11 inches. Once again, I saw a few jumbos caught and all the fisherman today had decent catches.
The bite today was totally over by 9 am. I am starting to think that there are so many minnows in the bay that the feeding fish quickly get stuffed and then they are done eating for the day. It pays to roll out of bed when it is dark and get out there before the fish shut their mouths. Happy Hooking!
