They worked. Got two 40-42" fish snooping around peanut bunker schools. First serious fishing in weeks for me. Felt good even if my friend (thankfully not Flap) walked in further and outfished me soundly. Time to get out there guys....the glut of peanuts seems to be drawing decent fish inshore.

The perspective is funny, Eddy, the fish is bent. But I did measure it (fork length). That's the butt of a 10ft conventional closer to the camera. Tough reviving them when the water is this warm, I was suprised to find them there in numbers. I think your trip next weekend is looking promising. Consider putting some extra time in at the coves.....where the peanuts congregate. The fish were hitting big skin swimmers as well. The scent of bunker, even if small, must turn them on to big plugs. Lot of spearing around too. Take and try some teasers when you go. My friend had three plugs taken from him on doubles last night.

Those are beauties, George. Just perfect.
I gotta ask a question: the eyes, do they look up, down and straight ahead to tell one at a glance where in the water column they ride?

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
