It's getting scary how few fish are out there.

[schoolie monster]

Friday night, I met John R on the south shore and we slung a few eels on a rising tide. I caught one around 24" and John got a small keeper around 30"... that was it. I didn't have another hit. John may have had another hit or two, I'm not sure.

I took the boat out Saturday after the T-storms passed. My wife and daughter came so we just went up into one of the rivers and caught a bunch of schoolies. We probably caught 20+, but we had swirls and chasers on our pearl white slug-o's just about every 2 or 3 casts. Early in the drop, their was some nice schoolies around 20-24", but as the water got skinnier, the fish got smaller. But we had a blast. The fish were just sitting in the rip line and they were still hittin' when we left. My daughter wanted to go to Friendly's for a monster mash sundae.

The fish were all over this flat, so maybe the schoolies are chasin' bait up into shallower water. Anyone else hittin' fish in the harbor?
