rumor was correct, a three man limit in two hours today around noon, water temp 51ish and light nuckle ball jigs tipped with crawlers was the ticket for some reason. lol, catching in 5 to 9 fow upper river bypass bridge to stony point toward kmart launch.
They were definitely on again yesterday. Plastics, bare hair, and fatheads all worked. Went solo and had 27 eyes with three legals by 10:30, VFW to the mouth. Found cooperative fish everywhere. Changed it up to searching for white bass, and had some fun with 15 to 16 inchers after a bit of searching. Kept 10 for a buddy. Called it a day at 2 pm.
The eyes are still going hot and heavy on the Rock. There was a slight ice-skin near shorelines yesterday when we launched at 7:30, but that was quickly broken up by turbulence from splashing eyes at the net and boat wake. Almost 50 made the boat with 6 legals and a 27.5 inch released. Bait didn’t seem to matter, but I stuck with my secret paddletails and superdoos, while buddy used jig/minnow. Only saw two other boats all day. Water temp was 39, so there should be some more good days ahead.
