Best fishing of the season so far!! Went back to where we fished yesterday, read them, anchored up, had fish on right away. Caught the change of tide just right, so we had action up to the bow for some time. Bite slowed halfway through the tide, waited till an hour and a half before slack and made a move. Some of the best fishing I have seen in a long time, slots up to 27 inches, keepers up to 22 pounds! Paul Smitko, Vernon, N.J. had the pool fish again, his second in a week....37 inches, 22 pounds, also had a group from Aquatic Technologies, 7 of them limited out(with bonus tags)....Can't wait till tomorrow!!!!
