St. Andrews 05/05

Post by Chalk »

Still pre-fishing for an upcoming tournament - Saturday was a wash....a window for a few hours looked good for Sunday. Woke at 3am - checked NOAA "small craft advisory" - checked wind alert was going to start puff'n about 0900. So, I texted DP and said sleep in it ain't worth it. After a cup of coffee at 630 and looking at the tranquility and lack of wind - I was wish'n we had went. Got a text around 8 stating, "yeah"...,.I replied I can be ready in 30 minutes...knowing better :lol:

Hit the water around nine....hit a new spot found a few fish nothing special. Moved across the mirror slick bay - crossing West bay point at about 65 - we find a little southwest ripple coming in. Stop and fish 100 yards down a bank - in ten minutes it went from mirror slick to puff'n at 20 mph....so we move further west :o .

Missed a few fish at the third spot and now the wind is humm'n and rollers are coming in, so we head back towards the ramp. Come off a flat where deep water is getting pinched into two banks & it looks like a washing machine Jumptrout worked on. Stacked 3 footers - the Big O lived up to her big water reputation.

Moved around to a bank that was going with the wind and started chunk'n & wind'n. Found a few fish nothing new - community hole. Caught fish on Aqua Dreams & Bite A Baits.

Looking good for a 65 mile one way trip this weekend to spot A & another 15 miles to spot B :o Need a spot C....fish still somewhat scattered should be good with the new moon though

Few fish from Sunday & wind chart...we left at 1300 with it gusting to 30

Nice fish Jim. Good luck in the tourney.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.
