I ran all the way down and around poplar island looking for birds and checked some shallow water fishing locations along the way hoping for some top water... Nada No birds or anything. The incoming was so weak that the ships stayed every which way in the main stem of the bay. Had I left the dock before 11am I likely would have taken the skunk/
However given our late start we stayed until the current started to ebb and had a bit of a hot bite live lining. We hooked 8 or 9 fish very quickly. Two were over 30". We broke off another over 30" and released lip hooked fish until we got a limit. Spot were getting hammered by small fish but a gentle lift to keep it going and a brief wait resulted in a hook up on almost every drop.
In other words... zero fish on the flood... nice bite on the ebb.
Oh yeah we did catch a number of weakfish while spot fishing too
