Marty's post the other day got me pumped up for some fishing so I went into work early today so I could get on the water for a couple hours this afternoon. Left the pier around 4:00pm, Max current was predicted for 4:30

Came up on a small group of birds just sitting on the water. Cut the motor and drifted, fish finder lit up. Caught fish for next two hours. A couple over 30" . Majority in the mid 20". Some these were fat and feisty!

For awhile the stingsilver was the hot ticket, but then they seemed to prefer 6" BKD. Fish were deep holding to structure approx. 15 - 20 ft deep. Very little action on the surface, fish were biting deep.

I really needed this night. This has been a really bad year for me fishing in the upperbay, struggling to find fish. I sold my old boat and got a new one this year and was wondering if it was jinxed!

I'm heading out again Saturday morning trying to my friend's dad on some of these fish.

Tight lines!
