Tough fishing its funny how they get hard to catch when the season opens. We had 3 fish in the 10-18lb range this morning between 6:30 and 8:00. I thought maybe we were on to something But then trolled for 4 more hours for 1 shaker. Their is a large variety of Forage fish in the Sound rite now. I have found large 6-8" Herring, small 4" Anchovie, and small 2-3" Candlefish. From what I have found in fish the majority of the bait in the north part of the Sound is small Anchovie and candlefish. The fish and heavy bait have been deep for me, 100-220' zones.

I forgot to add that one of the fish we caught this morning had 3 small bird feathers in its stomach
