    You can find a few fish scattered in the coves, but the bulk of the fish I am marking are still in the channel 20-25 ft deep.

    My wife and I are going to Sinclair tomorrow. We plan to try behind Optimist Island unless someone gives a good report about somewhere else.

    We longlined the west side of Optimist Island in 10-20 FOW. The water wasn't as muddy as I expected but there was a lot of floating trash. The temperature was 48 when we started, and almost got to 60 before cooling back down.

    My wife used 1/16oz. HalFlies and caught the most fish and the biggest fish on dark colors. I used 3/32 heads and curly tails with the darker colors producing best.

    We had our best day ever, culled a bunch of dinks, and put 51 over 8 inches in the cooler. The biggest was about 1 & 1/4 lbs. and we had around ten over a pound.

    Momma's happy and y'all know the rest of that line.

    Addendum to Bigfishheads comment, I mean follow right behind a boat, you will lose a lower unit quick up there if you are not familiar with this place. Under water stump fields everywhere. Be careful!
