The fish have turned the feedbag back on! We headed out and tried a couple old reliable spots, and messed around with a couple new spots. The action was consistant with a mix of decent sturgeon and nice channel cats… and a sheephead.
We were using larger baits than usual. 3″-4″ shad were producing the strikes for us. We didnt pay attention to how many fish we caught(about 7 or 8 sturgeon), but the average sze was running about 40″ with only one small sturgeon. 48″ was the biggest of the day as a few fish came unhooked early in the daylight, one was a fish in the 50″ classthat cleared the water and gave a heck of a display before coming unhooked under the boat.. Thats fishing!
Marc got one of thew chunkier channels I have seen for a long time at 30″ long and 18″ in girth(11.5#). St croix channels are not starving! All 4 channels ranged fom 5 – 11.5 pounds.
Windy or not, it was a enjoyable evening ont he water!
