It was a beautiful day...the Big Bay's been a little difficult lately, but like you said great to be on the water with friends.

Happy New Years to all.

Beats going to the Dr.
I've had the same thing happen lately. Not much in the way of fish count.

Well, it definitely could've been worse. It was just not what I've learned to expect from Shelter in the winter.

I made it to Shelter early the next morning, and only got bit just before and just after slack.

Wednesday in AM slack tide I made six spotted bass on six cast in a row. Usually it's hard to entice a bite in slack conditions but not this time. I think you're right the fast tide current had everything holding close to structure to conserve energy.
