Don, big fish in shallow water(daytime) are extremely hard to catch. I have witnessed this in the Charlestown Breachway about 5-6 times this season. I have fished inside the Breachway for 10 years from shore and never realized the big fish that prowl that channel in the daylight. Its a shallow channel with crystal clear water and standing on my casting deck with polarized glasses I can see everything in the channel. I came across a good blitz one morning in early August and I was shocked at the size of the Bass. On shore it would have appeared to be schoolies as they were the ones splashing around the surface, but on the bottom 20-30# bass were everywhere. I have tried all the obvious plastics and metal lures but can't get the larger fish. The schoolies are aggressive but the larger fish are picky. I actually put the pole away and kept drifting over them watching thier behavior. Fun anyway! I don't agree with "big fish feed at night", I think big fish are easier to catch at night.
