On the water at 9:00. Fished the bottom of the tide and the first three hours of the rise. The NW wind had all the water blown out and it made for some amazing skinny, skinny water fishing. Virtually every fish I hooked was in 6 or less inches of water and exploded when the steel tickled his lips. Awesome to see a top slot fish blowing out of inches of water. Majority of the fish ate an unweighted copper bendback with a rattle tied into its belly. Ended the day with 10 to 12 fish. Boat on the trailer at 12:30.
Nole, what does a copper bendback look like ? and what kind of camera you got that produces pictures like that ? My Kodak Easyshare sure don't or I don't know how to use it one.........

Sundown, the camera is an old Canon Digital Elph. It's actually a little dated but is a good point and shoot camera. 3 megapixel. The close up on the reel and tail was taken with the macro setting.
