Went out with Slabquest and our friend Tom today and started at Eglon...Got my fish early on and I was done for the day. We trolled Northwest towards Pilot Point and got a few more shakers and a couple of potential keepers. Kept the second fish West of Point No Point and had to work for the third one which finally came on a brown and white "Baitbuster" behind a green Hotspot flasher. I have had that wierd lure for awhile and this was the first in the water test....It has good action and has a spongue pad inside for scent. We had three major hits on it before the final fish of the day stayed hooked. All three balckmouth were hatchery and all had scraped up gill plates indicating that they were all scraping the bottom for candlefish. We field tested the new Lamiglas rods today and I was very impressed. Water was calm but it was real cold out there.

By the way the tribal crabbers were out with hundreds of commercial pots strung every feet feet from Kingston to Foul Weather Bluff. We heard from Fishnut that the Baby Island area in area 8-1 was so choked with crab pots he couldn't fish the area. Geez I remember in October there was an emergency closure.....I guess the tribes don't just 50% they get to crab 24/7.
