Good report from Mildog...MWScott and I punched a few test holes at 27 FOW, 'saw' fish right away. I caught a few and set my tent..it WAS cold with a strong wind blowing, making it difficult-for me at least- to keep up with the bite when hands are cold and damp from handling fish...MW moved about 30 yds East and started doing very well also...I've noticed that the average size caught "Here in the South" were a good 1/2" shorter than my last 4 or 5 trips "Up North" where I'd been fishing in 47 FOW...as noted before, however, the many 5 to 71/2" dinks are more safely released at this shallower depth..so my average kept here were 8 to 9", with just a couple over 9...35 were way plenty for me...Chnl 4 just happened to be at our parking spot when I came up and did a Rockport interview for their 4:00 news...Hope you missed it!! Actually they did a pretty good job...Wind made it seem a lot colder when we arrived, temp at 0700 was 21*...Guluk and be careful if still heading out...
