Bait is still the big issue: It's tiny and it's everywhere! So much so that the fish don't have much reason to eat what we're throwing at them!

Fishing Heats Up For Big Bite With Strong Winds in Pine Island Sound by
Butch Rickey
(3/09/2008)
A big wind on the front made for a big bite in Pine Island Sound! I did make it out on Friday. What a day! A big front was scheduled to come through during the night on Friday. As Friday dawned, the forecast was for south winds 15 to 20 with gusts as high as 30! I figured we could handle 15 to 20, and fully expected a good bite on the south wind.
