This post is for "cage rattler"; I spoke to him on the radio this morning and promised a report on CBA.
Left the slip on Bodkin Creek this morning around 7am and headed south. Dropped lines east of Gibson Island and trolled that area and down just below Balt. Light.
We probably boated 30 to 40 fish
. Only one was a keeper rock (23 in)
.
Ran 6 lines and had two #0 drones, two #1 drones, and two #15 tonys. We had lots of small 15 inch blues and rock hit the smaller drones. I will switch them out with tonys and see if it discourages the smaller blues and rock from hitting the tiny lure.
Good news was lots of bait in the area. Lots of breaking glass minnows but no birds or fish feeding on them. Mostly see "nervous water" with some glints of bait flipping, but nobody home underneath.
The "harvest moon" had the tides ripping today. The water was calm due to light winds. The water temp. was around 76 degrees (went up from the couple of warm days).
You just had the feeling that things are about to bust wide open with a few more cooler nights.
At least we had a lot of action, and a good chance to test our spread.
