Glad to hear that the threatening thunderstorms were gone. I launched at 6am and headed directly to the slag pile area where all the early rising fishermen were crawling through the fog.
Two passes at 100' down in varying depths of water. Saw one 20# plus fish caught before 7 and heard of one large fish lost. All good news, there were going to be some exciting reports in the near future.
I dropped another 10' lower and hooked a 9# keeper as I was approaching the ferry lane. I have to say she was a little passive until she saw the boat. She made several runs and after a 10 minute battle she was in the net.

I moved over to the clay bank area with the majority of the boats but didn't see any more fish landed.
I gave it up by 10am and believe firmly that the best opportunity is at the break of dawn.

Good luck to all..

Nice fish. Thanks for the report. I have been out in the afternoon a couple of times and it is nada, zip, zilch, nothing. I have not seen any or heard of any caught in the afternoon so I am with you that the morning is the best. Were you using herring or a spoon or a hoochie?

KK, I was using an orange / white / green dodger and a green hoochie.

Nice work Bruce. I released a 14-16lb native late Wed evening using green flash x green hootch. Plenty of bait, but lots of salad in the water making the fishing tough.
