 Friday May 25 - Upper Bay Bunker Madness - Worm Hatch -
On the water by 5:15 - ran up the middle of the bay with the Shads - but got very little looks / attention
Found no birds workin on fish all day - seems as if they must be on holiday
Found a really nice worm hatch going on - and got to watch acres and acres of bass crashing / slurping worms
Jenks was able to crack the magic code - and get some of their attention
Jumping minnow and the giant " doc" got some attention - but got no love on the fly rod
Played with these fish for the better part of an hour - where there were very few - read that no - worms left after the bass
Moved further up the bay - and found huge schools of bunker swimming unmolested - and none of the damn seining boats in site
Amazing just how much water that these bunker can push
Picked up a few more bass along the way - ( and we avoided the blues that were starting to have a field day )
Great weather - great day all around |
