It was a good day. I was fishing in about 3 fow on the south side of the island and throwing toward the shore. Seems like most of the fish were 10-15 feet from the shore. I caught them in all directions... usually I would cast both poles toward the shore and hope to avoid a major tangle up when I had a fish on each pole... not always. I had some major cut-your-line time tangle ups but usually managed to keep two lines out.
Did not make it to "the hole". The birds didn't like me close to their nests so I tried to stay far enough away to let them make babies in peace. The gulls are bad for bombing runs but the terns are the ones that will draw blood... always from behind. I've had a bloody head a few times from their attacks.
Water remains about 4 ft. deep in the channel. I had a bobber going out the channel in front of me as i went out. Tried to grab it to see what was on the other end but no luck. I see guys fishing in the channel from the south dike and I have seen them catch wb and mudders but no crappie.
Tomorrow the big one.
