light trace of fire in the water last night. Bigger bait around looking like sea/herring jammed into the nooks and crannies. Decent night didnt set the world on fire but we had a steady pick of smaller fish 8-15lbs or so and 12lb blues for about 5-6 hrs. Comfortable 45 degrees at the water and 42 on the road home. And I didnt cry or wet myself because the reel handle on my vs got cold...
fished artificials: black and purple long island fish in vermont darter was unstoppable last night. Picked up some bass on a pikie I had made as well. They def. wanted the darker colors. back out again.. good luck out there everyone..
