Fishing - 10-17-2011 Mid Bay

[Spot77]

Snuck out yesterday around 4pm for a few hours.

The air temp was pleaseant in the upper 60;s andthe water was about 65. We fished a few hundred yards off shore in 3' to 8' of water.

before we left the marina I cast in front of the boat a few times and caught huge White Perch on 4/7 casts. I thought it was going to be on fire last night!

Got out in the bay at dead low tide; the lowest I've seen in a long time. The wind was pretty nasty up to about 10 or 12 mph constantly and the waves we whitecapping pretty fair.

We caught a few small White Perch, and 4 Rockfish with the biggest being 21 inches. The other "keeper" sized fish was 19" and the other two were undersized.

We saw about 5 other boats working the same area but didn't see them catch anything except for one undersized Rock.

Let's hope the fish getter bigger real quick!
