Scary day on the open water yesterday when the wind suddenly switched out of the north and blowing hard. We made a long plowing run to the ramp surfing the big rollers and put the boat on the trailer soaked to the skin. Decided to wait it out and went back out 3 hours later for 3 more hours. Caught 99 between 6:30-8:30, all but 12 about 9" long. The fish ran bigger in the afternoon when we caught 117 between noon and 3 with 31 over 10"- mostly 11" fish with one that went 12" so we are no threat in the tournament. Just stay away from our dink play pens and let us kids play in the sand! We have noticed that for us the bigger fish have been later in the morning, close to noon or early afternoon. Our goal was to break 200 today and not drown- turns out it was easier to accolish the first goal than the second. Big fish was a nice flathead but he went back in along with all his little friends. Catch and release all day. It's nice to have something in the freezer besides hybrids after that long high water layoff.
