Finally made it out after 3 days of HELL!!

Caught a couple fish on the first stop but conditions just weren't right. Had to wait for the change of tide and the short window of a bite. When it came, we were anchored up, doing battle! Had a solid 45 minute bite on shorts and keepers. As fast as it started was as fast as it ended when they decided to stop biting.

Once the cold,dirty, fresh water runoff started on the outgoing, the bite was over, but it was fun while it lasted.

Tried a couple drops hoping to find something hot, even waited for slack and the change to no avail. Still, a great day on the water with even better days to come!
