Yeah, it's been real good but I'd don't have any pics as I haven't been keeping and tough to take pics and C&R. You will just have to take my word for it.

Pogies are thick as I have ever seen them. The trick is to get out in the middle of the night and avoid all the nitwits.

This afternoon really turned on with both big bass and blues. Last slammer of the day was on a pogie that had only a head left that I pulled away from a blue. Left them biting.....

Thanks Ed. I haven't posted a picture of a fish since 12 or 13 as I haven't killed anything is 2 or 3 years but this one had a destination and will not be wasted.

I've done that more than a few times to a boat that looks like yours. Now i'm scared the guy thinks i'm gay for him

I was up there, Clammer was up there Joe Fig was up there. They were small bass. 28 to 32". There was an occasional 20# fish mixed in but mostly smalls. Another move is coming this week.

It was quite the chore finding pogies this weekend, with ARK bait way up the river ravaging the stocks, most schools seemed broken down into much smaller pods. Found a few on the dumping tide....but found more the next day in someone else's harbor....not much on em' though. I must not have been where youze guys were??? West side of the island had schoolies blasting topwater in good sized schools....

Post it on the internet, let's have a party!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
