Mid Bay Trolling Skunk 4/23/13

[Skip]

If it helps ease your pain - heard many others got skunked as well.

Not just private boats but the pros on charters too.

Keep an eye out on the charters. Most will head in once they get a limit.

Used to be you'd see them running back about 8 or 9. Now they are running back at quitting time - tells you it's a tough bite.

They've been speculations on the other board about fish coming in waves, and us currently being "between waves", but who knows?

I've pulled a few rabbits out of my hat, am a natural troller, and have had some good teachers. But frankly, I'm doing about the as well now (yesterday's skunk notwithstanding) as I did in 2007 fresh back on the bay with only 5 boat rods.

Thanks for the encouaging words!
