I went out tues afternoon and had the same type fishing experience. Something is up, it was so awful I didnt want to post a report. I dont feel so bad now, I am not the only one lol. I caught 5-6 small ones in 5 hours. The thought crossed my mind to fish shallow (less than 8 feet) but I didnt try it. Maybe they are chasing shad in shallow water, the shad are all over the place in the coves.
