Well, I sure hope the bay is hoppin'. We seem to need some fresh fish in the rivers. I fished the lower Sop for about 3-4 hours this afternoon. There were definitely a few fish around, but it wasn't anything like what I was hoping for. Didn't talk to anyone who had any luck (but I did hear a few "soulda been here yesterday" accounts), and sure didn't have any action myself.

Folks are speculating that the relatively high flows for this time of year (actually seem about average to me) may be hurrying the fish upstream without taking time to stop and bite our lures. Sounds like a bunch of befuddled fishermen looking for excuses to me....
