The scoop on starvation ......
Water temp down by the strawberry inlet was still only 58 degrees last friday. The only warmer water is up in the salertus wash area - around 63 degrees, so the fish are not really in their active feeding frenzy. The fish we picked up on Sat were scattered but picked a few up near the sandy beach in the salertus wash area - they were 13 - 15 feet (seemed pretty deep for cold water). Tried a few spots in rabbit gulch with no luck - picked up a couple in the area south of the bridge at the mouth of some of those shallower small canyons, and a couple by a sunken island just north and east of the bridge - all were 15 feet or so trolling crawler harnesses (did not see a color preference - silver, green, red all about the same). Trolling about 1.5 mph. Hope this helps - i did not do any night fishing as the one night i was there the wind blew 30 mph!! So, if you do any good at night you'll have to drop me a note!!
