sounds about right, crazy thing is last couple years this time of year we would have like 3 or 4 guys on bank and a boat or two.

Dep how did you guys do?

We kept 10 yesterday and 19 today. Trying to spider rig the rocks which was almost impossible with all the boats and shore fisherman. A lot of 11s and 12's 12 1/2 was biggest has probably 4-5 of them. Probably would have had better luck double minnow rigging but minnows are hard to come by this early and didn't want to drive to get them. Nearly every bite came from fish suspended on brush. People on shore were definitely catching bigger numbers but I think we were catching the quality fish. But that is just me trying to make myself feel better probably lol.

from experience I can tell you those shore boys have bigger limits, not me but the locals. still trying to get the hang of it tho don't know why if you go over those suspended fish you couldn't do as well. still nice mess.

Hey fellas my dad and I put 29 in the boat today all from the warm water arm. The hot colors were black and red and also black and chartreuse.
