WELL WE MADE IT OUT OF COVE YESTERDAY MORNING AROUND 6. IT WAS KINDA ROUGH WHEN WE TURNED OUT OF THE COVE. SO WE RAN TO THE CLOSEST SPOT TO IT WHICH IS SLOPPY JOES. MADE A COUPLE DRIFTS WITH NOTHING TO SHOW EXCEPT A COUPLE SHORT STRIKES. SO WE MOVED TO THE GRAVEYARD WITH JUST ABOUT THE SAME RESULTS EXCEPT I LOST A FISH. COULD SEE THE SINKER BUT NOT THE FISH BUT IT FELT NICE. BY THEN THE WIND HAD DIED DOWN SO WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE SOME LONGER RUNS ACROSS THE LAKE.OUR NEXT STOP WAS THE GRAVEL BARS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE LAKE.HERE IS WHERE WE SEEN OUR BEST ACTION OF THE DAY, THE FIRST FISH I HOOKED UP WITH WAS A FAT 25 INCHER. THEN I CAUGHT A 15 FOR THE BOX THEN WE HAD A DOUBLE HEADER OF SHORTS AND THEN I GOT ANOTHER KEEPER 14 7/8. MY RIG WAS A 3/4 OZ SINKER, 8 FT LEADER WIT A RED HOOK AND CHARTRUSE BEAD. DADS WAS PURPLE HOOK WTH GOLD BEADS.DEPTHS WERE 28 TO 32 FOW.WE THEN MOVED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE LAKE BASICALLY TO BOOT FLAT.HEREI GOT ANOTHER 25 INCHER AND DAD GOT A KEEPER 15 1/4. SAME RIGS.23 TO 27 FOW GOT MOST OF OUR HITS THERE. THE NEXT SPOT WE WENT TO DIDNT HAVE A NAME ON THE GPS BUT WE GOT INTO SOME THERE TO I GOT ANOTHER KEEPER AND MY DAD CAUGHT ANOTHER 25. SAME RIGS BUT DAD SWITCHED TO PINK HOOK AND PINK BEAD. WE THEN MOVED TO OUTER 8 MILE AND PUT THE 
ON THEM.WE CAUGHT 8 FISH HERE WITH ONLY 1 BEING SHORT AND THE REST IN THE LOWER END OF THE SLOT. SAME RIGS. WE THEN RAN TO INDIAN POINT TO TRY FOR SOME SMALLIES. I HAD 2 HITS ON FLUKES BUT DIDNT GET EITHER. I SEEN 1 HIT IT AND RIGHT WHEN I SET IT I SEEN HIM OPEN HIS MOUTH N SPIT IT. NEXT WE MOVED TO THE GRAVEL BAR BY SPIRIT WITH NOTHING TO SHOW. THEN WE MOVED TO IZATYS REEF AMONGST THE MASS OF BOATS FISHING IT LAST NIGHT. WE ANCHORED UP IN 19 FOW AROUND 830 AND HAD CONSTANT ACTION UNTIL WE LEFT AROUND 1030.SUPRISINGLY WE ENDED UP WITH OUR LIMIT BUT IT TOOK ALL DAY WITH OUR LAST FISH OF THE DAY BEING THE LAST WE NEEDED. BLUE/WHITE 1/16 OZ JIGS WORKED BEST FOR US. THERE WAAS A HUGE BUG HATCH LAST NIGHT. THERE WERE SOME SPOTS ON THE FLATS WHERE YOU COULDNT SEE ANYTHING ON THE GRAPH BESIDES BIG BALLS OF BUGS. SORRY FOR THIS BEING IN ALL CAPS I FORGOT TO TURN IT OFF AND I JUST LOOKED UP AT IT AND I DONT WANT TO RETYPE IT…DID FORGET THE DIGITAL BUT THERE ARE PICTURES ON A DISPOSIBLE IN THE BOAT.WILL POST WHEN WE GET THEM DEVELOPED…
