Started with a pink/chartreuse spinner with a wonderbread dodger and a pink apex with a pink sling blade. Gave it a half hour but nothing. Switched to an orange hoochie/dodger and pinurple hoochie behind a brass dodger. No love. So mid morning I put on the tried and true pink hoochie behind moon jelly dodger on one rod and green hoochie and dodger on the other. Immediately doubled up. Landed only one of them. Over the next half hour caught two more and lost two more on green. Then it shut off for a couple hours. Finally a little before noon green got hit again but it didn’t make it into the boat. Within a couple minutes it got hit again and I landed that one for a limit. I might need to check some of my hooks. 35ft, 16 inchers.
It was a bit over 60F at 35' yesterday, 58.4F at 40', and 54.3 at 45'. About, I don't have access to my temp gauge right now. I'll be up in the morning to give it another go. Hopefully with bigger fish. Or maybe just fish...
Single main, no kicker.
