I hit the water at the crack of dawn and started trolling around Hales Ford Bridge. I marked a few fish and saw a nice bunch right under the bridge next to Captains Quarters. Two passes got me nothing so I trolled up to Coast Guard point. I didn't mark hardly anything. So after just a couple passes I cruised down to Becky & Betty's. I quickly cruised through Becky more looking than fishing but as luck would have it I hooked a whopper way in the back. I stretched the fish as much as I could but it still measured 11". I didn't even know I had it hooked. A bunch of leaves fought harder.
I was marking these schools and bunches of small fish that could have been these small stripers or gizzards. I only saw a few scattered real fish that were mostly sitting on the bottom. I checked the creeks and outside the creeks and around the island and found nothing. I looked in Yacht Club creek and found a small school hugging the bottom. I cast and cast and cast around there but got no bites. Then I ran up and checked the points by Hales Ford Bridge and still found nothing. I ran up to R31 and cruised around and still found nothing. So then I drowned some meal worms around the laydowns testing them for use at the 4H kid's fishing days. They work. Also, I can tell its Spring and the fish all have allergies because they are sneezing a ton of brown boogers in the water. I troll for a few minutes and my lines are covered with gobs of this slimy brown booger stuff. What a mess. So that's it. I didn't want to travel far with the questionable weather but had a fun day anyway. Later Joel
