This will be a quick post- just trying to get caught up from last week. On Saturday 5/19, launched from Wenona in the midst of yet another small craft advisory. Winds were 20-25 mph out of the NE, but it was borderline do-able with the tide coming in, although a bit rough. Sure enough, we only hung two fish on the incoming tide- one a kingfish, which I hadn’t caught in awhile. Just before tide change, my co-pilot and youngest son Blair had to go #2, so we jetted back into harbor and completed that business.
Tide change and the wind lay down just a few mph. And for the next 30 minutes we caught nice croaker, all 14-15” and real fighters. And then the tide really started rolling out, in addition to the wind picking up to a steady 25 mph. Oh well, fish to clean and I can’t complain. Other notes- we caught all the fish mid day at about 42 ft depth. Water temp was 68F, up from 66F the week before. And once again, the croaker wanted nothing to do with shrimp or squid, feasting only on my precious soft crabs.
