Cold water...

The recent heat waves haven't done much to warm up the ocean water in my area..now that the mud and silt have cleared from the river the cold ocean water is making a push up inside the river...last night in an effort to find a little larger size class fish I fished an area that is always colder ..when it meets the warm river water it makes a strong tide line... usually there are a few good fish along it.. and depending on the time of year they will be in the warm or cold.. last night fish were on both sides... the ones in the 48 degree water just rolled lazily on top... never even following the plugs... the warm water was 68... the fish were feeding on that side of the rip.... I had lots of fun.. but nothing over 7lbs was in that rip...

the picture of the GPs is hard to see but you can make the 48 degree temp out if you look hard..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
