Bucktail II
Angler
Fished with buddies John and Dan on Saturday targeting back bay fluke. ENE breeze at 5kts, beginning of the outgoing. Water was clean, not much weed to speak of. 3 shorts in the first creek with 2 robins to cut up for bait. Bucktails and gulf were on the menu. Decided to grab some spearing before heading to our next location. Second creek.....not a touch. Really surprised, it's usually a good early season location. Took a short ride and tried another creek to the West.....1 short. Steamed a little further to catch the beginning of the outgoing in this area. Wind shifted due East, same 5kts...Held us up from drifting. Power drifted and managed a few more shorts, then a keeper just over 18.5". Finally broke the ice ! Current started to run good and concentrated on a drop off with a mussel and sponge bed......bingo. Small area of all nice fish with a few just short fish in the mix. We managed 6 keepers for the day, 5 of which were between 19.5 and 24".
Great day on the water with good friends.....It doesn't get any better than that !
