Interesting year so far. Plenty of pogies everywhere. Sometimes you have to wait for them to appear and it's been later than usual. Regardless of the tide they are been popping after sunup. In years past, I could get them in the dark if I wanted.

Now, as for the Bass, I haven't seen any evidence of Bass working the pogie schools. I have been getting fish up to 20# but I've also been grinding it out. Fishing old spots I haven't hit in years and finding decent fish...for no apparent reason. I fished 5 spots yesterday morning with live pogies and raised one fish that was too small to take the pogie. The bait has been exceptionally large this year. Consistently a foot long and 1 to 2 pounds each.

It will be interesting to see what the new moon brings. Typically the big girls ride in on the new moon in June.
