I enjoyed seeing everyone again and thanks to Mike @ M&D for hosting again. Unfortunately I couldn't do the late night cape trek because of a job in the morning, however it worked out well. I ended up at the east end of the canal and had a ball. Well I did and didn't, damn blues (including a big arse 15 lber I landed) kept cutting my jigs off and I really didn't want to go back to the truck for wire. Landed about 6 blues and the icing was 4 chunky bass, with the largest going maybe 34 inches.
I started bottom bouncing my 13 inch Mega Jerks with 4 oz, but the blues where biting them in half. Switching to the 7 and then 5-1/2 inch split tails when I ran out of the bigger baits was the ticket. Slip I can see how you could get addicted to the jigging and being an fresh water jig & pig nut, I love feeling the bottom. Kept going lighter as the slack approached and called it an early around 8:30, with blues feeding all over the east end when I left. I just figured I'd sacrificed enough plastic and lead for the night
. The bigger bass and 15 lb blue were fun and made it worth while. It was also fun driving the two either side of me nuts as I was either getting fish or bite off on every cast and they weren't getting a bump. Do you think the cards I gave them might get me some business...lol.
Hope the others fared well, maybe some reports of monster large from the cape trekers tomorrow, tight lines.
