Patent Pending 5/25

[5th Tuition]

As you know, we were out last Mon and Tues and the mayworm hatch was still a factor. However, today we had bait and fish suspended. Could the hatch be over. We even saw some bait (not much) on the surface

We wound up with ALMOST our limit. We had three come unglued and one short It would have been a quick trip if we could keep the men from dropping the rod tip. We had their three wives onboard as well and none of the women lost fish. I was able to "coach" the women and they liked the rod "belt". Whenever it was their turn to bring in a fish, they would ask for the "strap on"

We heard of a nice bite south of Deale (thanks Skip) and worked that area. Our second fish of the day was a 31 inch rock that one of the women reeled in. It was big enough to take some drag, so I knew it was either a nice rock or a snakehead

Four and six ounces of lead were hot today, whereas 12 and 20 oz were better in the beginning of the week. Let's hope we get back to a normal pattern and they feed on bait instead of worms.

Still no blues and no tails bit off our storm shads. We did have a couple hard knockdowns and found a teaser missing upon inspection.

Enjoy the Memorial Day holiday. We will be out again next week.
