After bouncing around all morning in several area's and only landing a handfull of keepers, we finally found some fish that wanted to bite.

Watched birds working on bait all morning without doing much. Late in the day we looked in a little deeper water, found a nice shot of bigger bass. Several fish in the 20 pound range, a new big pool leader that was landed by Bill Fell at 29 pounds. Some caught on clams, bigger fish caught on shads and bunker, Crocs didn't seem to work in the shallower water.

Tom Krako had the hot hand landing 4 nice keepers. Couple of the youngsters on the boat today also had fish in the 20's all by themselves! Loads of bunker coming up the beach with big fish behind them!!!!!!

We are Chartered on Tuesday morning.
