Seems like we are the only ones jumping in the water anymore....... At least based on the diving posts. Anyhow, here's another one from5-15 ..... Left mashes early to be delighted with a calm clear day.... Headed south to 40-45 ft inside 9 mile boundary..... 1st spot for a buddy showed fair vis for ...

It's been unusual for us this spring.... We've been killing the gags trolling, but most of the fish seem scattered on low relief stuff. We get a few on the bigger ledges but not as many... I've been wanting to dive these hard bottom areas where we caught them trolling. 2 or 3 weeks ago I was trollin...

Good news on the vis, but what about the fish ??????

Boy, leave out details and here comes the tar and feathers.... Lol. It was a short trip since its been blowing till 3 and I'm in a flats boat. Launched at Lanark and was suprised at the clear water at the end of the canal.... It was a little sporty through the sound, but got better as I went. Got ou...

Just get good at releasing big fat fish...... Afternoon bite 3-6!

35-40, pink

Trolled off DI wed afternoon for a few hours..... BIG swell from the SE . Caught 3 nice gags and an 8 ft tiger.... Neat fish. The water was dark green, but noticably clearer than two weeks ago when we dove and had 6-10 ft vis. I could see anchor line WAY down. So unless the bottom few feet were stir...

Around 40 ft mostly..... Vis varies through the day, but we were prob fortunate to have what we had with new moon tides and a big SE swell everyday..... Funny thing. I did a drop late wed afternoon about 630 and the vis was better 10-15.....who woulda thought. Water was prob high 60's to 70.... Not ...

Yep..... Non ethanol only..... Also running the 50:1 oil. It doesn't use much, and fuel economy has been great. I love Yamaha, but the 4 strokes were too heavy.

Have had an issue with the tach which seems like it has a bad connection somewhere . Also, down trim is testy. Will get both looked at after fishing season .... As for the engine itself , runs awesome. Plenty of low and mid range power for my flats boat.... I don't care about top end so haven't chec...

The weather has been bizarre the past seven days and fortunately consistent ... It blows like stink till 2, then slowly calms to nothing for the ride in. Once we figured this out, we just started launching at 2, easing our way out in the big SE swell, then watch it calm while we were out there. Wind...

Went twice this week off DI for only a few hours each time and tore em up... Had a limit each day within 30 min.. Nice fish. Then released a bunch over 28" ..... Big kings are around too.... Caught 3 to 30lbs.... 40ft

I didn't stick my toes in the water, but it was beautiful and clear. Could see a small piece of cut bait 25 ft +......

Lol......

Everywhere out there is the same. We dove in December and had to shoo them away.

Took wife and 3 year old out of lanark tuesday afternoon to play with the sea bass and grunts..... When we arrived in 35-40 ft , after an enjoyable smooth ride, I tossed out a stretch 30 to see if we could pull in a big one to show our daughter. 10 minutes later we had a 28" gag in the boat. To...
