Wind from the east...

[LongLine]

Day after a cold front...Perfectly clear sky...wind from the east, fishing is least...

 

BULL FEATHERS!

 

Launched solo at the river at 6.  Took a left toward the ponds. Put in at 80 FOW.  Lots (and I mean lots) of bait suspended in 93-95FOW.  Worked about 90 to about 130FOW.  Thinking there is a pretty good upwelling in the making this morning.  At 2 3/4 downspeed (2.7 GPS) speed with 75 ft of cable out in 110FOW had 54F down but at same speed & cable out in 85 had 42F. 

 

 

Anyways,  3 shakers and 2 respectable. (14 & 22 Lbs) All on mupped rigger down 55, running purple spooks.  All above temp & hitting freeking hard!  (even the little ones made the reels take off)

 

Bigger one wasn't all that long, but I don't think I've ever seen such a fatty!  Thinking she was sniffing the creeks & ready to make the run real soon.  Smaller one was still silver but just beginning to show brown towards the tail.  Bigger one had a lampry mark, others all clean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think the bigger one survived, even though I tried to resusitate it, as she had lost a bit of blood.  All the others flipped me off and swam away.

 

Off at 10:30 as the wind was picking up.

Luck to all.

Some nice fish there! I'm planning to head out of Braddocks or Sandy tomorrow. Has anyone been ofshore lately?  Wondering if thats still the best fishing, I would consider running out a ways tomorrow if it's nice.

If conditions are good no reason not to. Stable water and plenty of fish.

Yes I hear they are banging them good out there along the border.
