RRabiner,
I was out early Friday morning as well. Started with spooks over some high spots. Lots of fish giving us short strikes but managed to land a couple up to 16lbs. Saw the pogies everywhere but they weren't unmolested although they appered to be at first. They seemed to be just moving along but when I cast in and snagged one the bass came out of no where to intercept my pogy. A bunch more were just ripped off my hook. Managed to land one 17lber that way. Really cool to watch the bass chase the bait down from above on the bow of the boat. Not every school of bait worked the same way though. Stopped trying once a bunch of other boats joined in. We all semed to drive the bait down after a while. Saw the worms too. Seemed like they were always near the schools of pogies too (I wonder???). Probably happened again today but I decided to avoid the mob of holiday weekend boats and get some work done around the house. Maybe I'll try again Tuesday. Nice pictures.
