in the area i fish,small bass 8 to 15 inches were everywhere for the last month,not just the typical small fish spots.Up until this week every trip i made an average of 3 a day saw at least a couple of fish with alot of 20 to 30 or more fish.still haven't had a keeper. typically i catch my biggest fish in this same peroid,in the same areas.the 24 t0 28 inch fish that where all over this time last year haven't hit the beach so far. the boats and kayakers are doing well with big fish,so they are around,just strange beach fishing.

We had them one day last week, John. We were surprised as hell. I would just toss out a yellow Jobo Jr and BAM! I'd just twitch the lure like fishing for Largemouth and the big ones would take it from the beach. All the day when the wind was NW at 20+ sustained. They were pushing foot long makeral onto the beach. It only lasted for about an hour. #^&#^&#^&#^&y, Bruce's friend Pete from TN, and I were the only ones out there. It was really nice to see a blitz like that.

Maybe see you out there sometime. It's been a while.

My take is, not worse than the last couple so far. Haven't been out as much with all this f n wind but have marked tons when out,,, couple days ago came across the largest top water display of large I ever seen... Acres!

This week last year the 2 11s where thick as thieves in the shallows of CC Bay, can't confirm their absence but haven't heard about their presence either.

Nothing but circle hooks and Hamburgers this season... LOL
