Were you guys fishing bait or spoons, hoochies? Do you guys fish with downriggers when it's that shallow or do you use delta divers? Congrats by the way, we fished the point in a derby again , we caught 5 but nothing legal, the one that we did catch that was legal was an inch to short terribly slow out there, we were on the water at 4:45am and the derby was over at 2 pm we just kept on fishn until 5 though, it was gorgeous out there on the water

No down riggers on boat and we fished plug cut herring and no divers

My buddy boated 4 yesterday.

Heard the grass was minimal and shiny things where popping lines off downriggers.

Ya the grass wasn't bad yesterday and the water condition wasn't bad either until u got further out by buoy 15 at washaway beach I'm looking forward for the next trip hopefully there is more fish in the bay

Nice ya if I fish the derby it be the first derby but I don't think my buddie will be doing the derby cuz it will probly crowded

So my fishing buddie had one of his friends was fishing today in his own boat and high tide was around 130 today and it didn't sound very good today he didn't have no hook ups today

[buckhorn2]

I fished Thursday and Friday got one Thursday on high and one yesterday on low. Benn fishing one hour before both tide changes otherwise there is so much moss and grass its hard to fish.

My cousin and I went out yesterday ( the 20th ) and got skunked, 14 fish got checked in by 4 pm which isn't very good out of the amount of boats and half of those were caught outside and no real size to any of them, the biggest being 15 pounds!! Washaway got fogged in real bad and the exchange was big. The grass was bad the further you got to toke point!! We fished from sun up and came off the water at 3:30 we wanted to fish longer but had stuff we needed to do Hoefully we get a big rain pretty soon, we need a new shot of fish to head in.. If that happens the derby should be a good one, weather dictating of course!!
