My opener report out of area 10 Kingston. 6 pots 2 days with an overnight soak. 18 keepers which sounds good but our history here is usually sorting the biggest and throwing keepers over because of full daily limits. Most this year just barely legal, not many big boys. Has me a little worried because not as many smallies and females in the catch. Hope the problems South aren't moving North. Wonder how the tribes have done, or how to find out?
18 dungies? or is that counting the red rocks? We had 3 people aboard, 6 pots, only got 4 keeper dungies in THREE days.. We let go about 30++ red rocks. Only seen about a dozen female dungies.
Yes Dungies. Keep in mind we have done much better, and I worry of the downward trend. We kept a bunch of the biggest rocks also, which were plentiful. On that note, lots of the rocks had one pincher gone but looked healed? Wonder if the tribes break them off for themselves? They are good eating. There are better spots than others and networking w/ others helps on the water to get dialed in. We have one hole that always seems to produce the best, and I'm talking small spot. Always seems to bail us out on the overnight soak. Not sure why but around the spot is slim pickings, and thanks to the GPS, gets us right on it. The worry I have was the lack of females and smallies. I experienced the South decline over the last couple of years and it seems to be trending in that direction. As far as tribes getting on the water first, I don't have a problem other than the time they get. Give them a few days or a week only. Not a month for cripes sake. Maybe alternate times, 1 week ahead for them, then 1 week for recs, alternating weeks the front end of the season. Good Luck!
