The bay's not usually as crowded as the river, and I bet that's especially true now. The bay's not as much of a concern anyway, because it's got lots of room for fish to move around and cooler water. I'm mostly concerned about the lower river.

Could be plenty of reasons the fishing was slow over the weekend. Full moon, east wind, hot weather, dour fish; take your pick of bad indicators. I sincerely hope it wasn't slow because the early run is underperforming or has already been overharvested, but I kind of doubt that. Maybe just crappy fishing. I know the guy you fish with doesn't like those big tides....

F4B. Obviously our definition of bumper boats is different. I generally fish during the week and the weekends IMO have been a [Bleeeeep!] show. I get it, beautiful weather great fishing, only game in town. Now with the nets in it's also obvious the fishing has dropped off. Makes sense huh?
Flea. Great write. Really curious what if any response you get. Please share.
Cool vid! Just goes to show you how sneaky they are in low water. Am surprised that movement in bright sunlight? Usually most movement in low light or darkness. If it were open run up to the head of the hole and cast.
