That's a nice morning right there. Were you chunking? clamming? trolling?

We had a decent day Saturday jigging at the rocks along with 100 other people... then a very good early morning bite down that way Sunday before the cavalry arrived and the bite shut down.

All the fish were 'cookie cutter' 30-35" healthy looking bass.

Hey Basspond
Nice to see you up at the rocks on Sat. It is always nice to see another CSC guy out on the water. Caught them reel good to the southeast of there later on. In like 90 Feet of water. Stay in Touch. See you soon.

Nice to see you out there too Squido. I'm always on the lookout for other CSCs. It's funny we were coming up on the group of birds you were working and I turned to my dad and said, 'I swear that boat was for sale on CSC...'

I heard there was a good bite farther south. I didn't venture any farther south than the rocks Sunday knowing that south wind was going to come up. We got on them with just one or two other boats early Sunday and packed it in when it got crowded.
