Peak day on solunar calendar, low pressure, no wind, and moderate temperatures: the perfect day to fish.
Despite the ideal conditions, and literally over hundred marks between 0730 and 1600hrs the typically enthusiastic mauraders were tight-lipped and brought a lot of frustration to anglers. It was agonizing watching them alternate between coming up to the high hook for a sniff and then drop back down and circle the bait on the bottom.
Buddy and I landed three and had another unbutton on the way to the surface. Bite was super subtle and ultra light.
The three whities were cookie cutters, all between 23" & 25".
Every other angler we ran into on the way out and at the ramp eyed our bucket with overt jealousy and admiration. Not a single other angler landed a fish despite marking all day long.
