Love when I get to post my "Fishing in the Snot"reports..Unfortunately, we were the only boat out, as not many people as as enthusiastic as I am anymore!

Took the only 12 souls who showed up, out fishing. After yesterday, how could I let a "ENE" wind at 25 with outgoing tide go to waste....Started close to home and caught some bass, shorts and a couple keepers. Took the ride to where we have been fishing, not wanting to short change anyone and looking for the bonanza bite, yes we got there and caught squat! The bait was gone, the millions of bunker of yesterday were gone also. Didn't waste too much time, licked my wounds, lite a few candles and prayed we would find life in the only place left to look.......Took the 45 minute ride back to find Lights out fishing!

Bass, Big Blues, Birds working and loads of bait. Proceed to kick butt for the rest of the day. High hook had 11 bass on top water! A nice mess of keepers, some bonus fish a bunch of shorts and all the Big blues you wanted. Great fishing day! Back at it tomorrow.

Capt. Ron-

What plugs / lures / jigs do you recommend bringing on a trip like this? Planning to give you guys a shot tomorrow. THanks!

ava jigs in the size that fits your rod weight, I like 3oz white tails anything white works good. they are on bunker anything in the shape and color is right on. swim shads in white are killer and topwater poppers in lighter colors or bunker colors. thats all you need. you could also use snag trebles and do snag and drops depends on what boat you are on. go catch em up G they are thick everywhere

Hey Ron. Bunker didn't completely disappear. They were stacked up further back. But bite was off live lining. Not as good as it's been. They moved out with the tide later in the day.
