. . . with the wacky spring weather again, wasn't last May rainy and cold for the entire month and delayed the fishing by a couple of weeks at the very least?

We were out on the water and much to my surprise, that despite the high tide being 10:40pm there was nary a boat out on the water ALL night, we had the water to ourselves. From sundown to 10:00pm, all we had to show despite fishing lures/all manner, bait, and eels, we had one twinkie trolling the yo-zuri crystal minnow, at least it beats the skunk when first troll just for fun gets A fish.

We had one rod in 15-20 feet of water with an eel on it, livelined with just the rod in the holder deadsticked in the rodholder when it went off, it was a 39 incher. 30 minutes later, just a bit after high tide, the 36 incher hit on a retrieved eel so the fish were definitely in the water, not in any quantity at all but lonesome stalkers. It was good to get fish again, at night, and on eels. Enjoy.
