Out yesterday in about 50' seeing lots of markings. Got 3 nice ones, a nice perch and of course those fighting sheepshead. Funny thing, got one trolling before my trolling motor batteries were shot (have to deal with that today). But the other 2 larger ones were just off drifting harnesses at about 1mph. I was going out to the border line and drifting in lol. Saw a couple guys with limits. Not sure how long they were out. Bite should pick up soon!
Hey Joe! Always like reading your posts.
Out of Sturgeon in 52' grabbed 81. Was marking them good. Cooled off around noon and moved farther west and closer to shore (around 54') and finished off the day with a two man limit.
Don't launch out of Sturgeon with an easterly wind lol. The bar is making itself known.
Was out yesterday also, launched out of the Catt. Picked up two under 15 right away in 75ish. Marked lots at 60 but looked small, no idea what they were. Got 5 for the day but took some patience. Funny story, my rod bends like I hit a boulder. Pick it up and not sure if a snag until it starts hammering line out lol. So yeah I believe it's gotta be a big sheephead. Anyway, get it in and yeah, big sheephead. So my cousin gets it unhooked without having to net it. We continue on and notice this big ass fish who fought like a champ is still floating. Me and my cousin look at each other and are like yeah, let's go, and we want to try revive the thing. I turn the trolling motor around, start heading for the fish which was still belly up, when a damn seagull lands on top of the fish and starts hammering away. I turn to ask Dave if he saw that and WHAM. Dude hits a fat walleye when he was reeling in his lure after turning around to tend to a sheephead lol. Was one of the keepers. Mostly staying off bottom with worm harnesses between 80 and 85.
Slow today. Two right away in the morning then nada. Judging by the boats out at 7 and the few remaining closer too noon wondering if they went deeper. Spent a lot of time from 30-35'
