Wbay 3.20.10

[OR19]

I had to go back and see if they were still where I found them Tuesday...slid into very fishable green water around 6:20, wind was s/e at probably 15, tide was moving slightly, falling I think..moving from right to left if you were facing N. Chunked a top to cover water as I headed to the spot I was hoping to find them. Sure enough there were a few mullet working as I set up around 7 to see if they would show between then and dark.

Was thowing morning glory/ch texas assasin on 1/8oz head...nothing for about 30 minutes then missed back to back hits around 7:20. Caught a 20 incher around 7:30, and decided to try a pearl fatboy because of all the big mullet...I think it was a bad decision...no bites on the fat boy so I went back to the morning glory at about 5 til 8. Fist cast it got nailed...after 2 good drag ripping runs, and some head shaking on top, I netted a fat girl and snapped a pick which doesn't do her justice, before she swam away. She was about half inch over the slot on the rod marker.

Sand/mud/with a smattering of scattered shell...way out in front of the coves...they are starting to move in...maybe this will be the spring that I finanlly break 28....

great report...good luck on goin over that 28" mark
dont worry if chip can do it so can you
probably will come on that topwater !!

Nice report Ben! If you keep throwing in that area, you will land one. 28 inch mark in this bay is a real accomplishment, but that 25.5 is nothing to be ashamed of. Wish I had caught one that nice. Sick most of the week and didn't even see the water until yesterday. I will catch up with you soon!

Hey Steve, I moved....farther west....tired of walking all that mud and shell...so I went and found some sand and a secret patch of scattered shell that I'm convinced only I know about!! Spring pattern is just about to explode!!! BTW I cleaned the smaller one right after I posted this and it was 22 after being on ice all night...now I don't think I was off by 2 inches on the big one but it was dark and it makes me wonder...I gotta get a boga.
