My first trip of the season was with longtime client Dale Dewildt and his friend Betty. We hit the water about 7:00 am. Started off in the narrows at Gladstone and caught 3 keepers fishing the base of the breaks. Then moved to the north end where the water is a little warmer and found much more active fish. We were using drift-socks to slow our drift while operating the bowmount electric to keep us along the edge of the reefs. Lindy Rigs with floating jig-heads tipped with just a 2" piece of crawler caught all our fish today. As usual here in the early season, most fish were just good eaters in the 15-20 inch range. We had a colf front move through today, so I'm hoping it doesn't kill the great bite we saw today. Good luck on the water folks.
