Banking on my observation of an early bite shutdown, I made sure I was at the site of the crimes at 05:00. The fact that my 1st 3 casts were untouched, a new record, got me very concerned, but cast #4 got slammed, reassuring me that losing that extra sleep was appropriate. By 5:45 things had shutdown and I headed back to the barn, earlier enough that I was able to tie right up instead of waiting for the 2nd hour of flood because of today's -0.6' low tide.
The other "Hypothesis" that continued to be supported, that somehow there is a "You Can't Be Longer Than 27" To Eat Here" sign on the bottom, as two biggest of my 4 fish caught were exactly 27", making that a total of 7 over the past 4 trips, with no keepers.
In the spirit of the Olympics, I participated in 2 Striper Fishing Events, the Work Your Popper Around the Floating Rockweed Slalom event, and the Untangle Your Hooked Fish From Lobster Trap Warp event. I did OK in the first, probably going 7/10, and was successful on the second event, but lucky it was dead calm with little current.
