I live on MV and work in one of the local tackle shops and I can honestly say that the fishing has been extremely poor, but . . . it is picking up. I know bigger pockets of fish have shown up and we are catching more than we were (which is not saying much). The fish are getting bigger and I know for myself and a couple of my buddies we finally had two nights of throwing back several 25-28 pounders, which sadly is some of the best fishing we've had in weeks. The nice part was that we got them on plugs. I have a funny feeling that if we get some nice SW winds that 40# will be bumped. I've been seeing more bait and the blues we've been catching are hacking up some nice size squid. The bonito and albie fishing is still crappy, but who cares. Funny things happen the last week of the Derby. I've seen that leader board change several times in the last three days of the Derby, is it gonna be you? By the way, I'm strictly writing about the surf fishing.
