Hey; I just got back from an Admin. Board Meeting at my church. Scott, thanks for posting the pics.
A quick down and dirty report. We hit the Power Plant to try some jigging. There were three other boats there and with one reactor down for maintanace, we didn't see many fish caught. After our 46 ft Markley chased away the other boats
, we left to try trolling the eastern side of the bay back toward Deale. We saw Lots of bait
. The bait was deep
. Most bait was 40-50 ft down in 70 ft of water
.
Once we ducked into 35-40 ft of water, the bait disappeared
. Back in 70 ft; I ran two umbrells (one with 30 ozs and one with 32 ozs). The 32 oz umb caught the fish.
We saw several gannets (none diving).
We knew it was TOO soon, but had to try anyway. We are headed out again tomorrow and I will be adjusting my 6 rod spread accordingly.
I'll stay in touch.
