After hearing that the bay was on fire with bass we decided not to give flounder a last shot and headed out with high hopes. Well we managed to catch 1 keeper with enough shorts to be us interested but nothing like we had hoped for. Guys trolling did better then those of us using clam. Best part of the day was seeing my friend Pete get his first ever keeper 28 .5" close but good enough

Water was dark brown from all thge rain run off, Spoke with a few friends that were out not much of a different story just a tough day. Watch a guy not catch shit the entire time we were out and he posted on another site they caught 70 shorts I guess that made him feel better. Bunker was tough to come by today in GK we will give it another try in the AM.
