Mary had a little SLAB

[Skunk City]

Got out with a couple buddies last night to the Land of the Skunks from 7pm-1130pm for some full moon festivities. Paddled around for a bit, watched Ringwood Police pull over and tow a car, then found a nice spot to set up on land near a dropoff after dark. Drowned some Herring with no luck, but found some SLABS on the feed. We jigged them up for a couple hours after dark, most of them fat, round, 12"+ fish. Biggest was this one, a nice 15", which equaled my personal best Crappie. Was hoping some 'Eyes rolled through, but none were landed. Water temps were 79 degrees in the deeper areas and 81 in the shallows. Couldn't see a thermocline on the FF, but Herring on the bottom wouldn't last more than 10 minutes without kicking the bucket.

NOT a crappy day with that kind of action.....Nice night out...

good job skunk, those are some nice slabs u got there a good way to fish the herring is just liveline em w a splitshot, they will stay as deep as they can without dieing too quickly, they eventually do fighting the weight of the splitshot tho.

My next invention is gonna be some kind of GPS tracker that u can clip to a fish fin, and find the thing on your sonar or Ipad or something. Id love to kno where those thousands of eyeballs put in there yearly are hanging out, you never hear of them up there, even in the spring theres no nite bite, and with all the herring in there, what is the deal? I kno u put some time in up there, how the hell u keep going back I dont kno, props to you for stickin w the place
