Last year....late May...in a cove on one of the Elizabeth Islands....me and Bigcat running along in the boat....I spot 3 gulls laying down on the water in the cove as we're running past...nothing else. I said wth let's go in and snoop around-I always stop for birds like that...
We slowly motor into the cove....8' of water...I throw an olive/white popper...as soon as it landed on the water you woulda thought someone threw a freakin bomb, the water just absolutely ERUPTED with fish....ACRES AND ACRES of bass started rolling on top. OVER 5 hours until the tide changed we had 15-25 lbs bass on poppers. My freakin arm still hurts from that day
Not another boat drove by all day.
I don't think I've EVER had so much fun. Every time the tide would push us out and we would see less fish I'd motor back into the skinny stuff and we'd be back into fish.
