Cape Fair Report 4/17

[motoman]

Put in at cape fair public access about 2:00 PM. Fished until about 6:00. Wind was whipping under partly cloudy skies. air temp mid 70's I'd guess? Completely New water to us, my buddy wanted to fish. Not my preference, as i like the deep clear stuff; but i agreed. Water clarity was 2-3 feet. Saw water temps up to 68+. (Assuming my electronics are accurate) We caught a handful of short kantucks, throwing zoom finesse worms on 1/8 ounce Shakey heads, slow dragging them in 5-10 fow.

No problem there Quill:-)

I did forget to mention.........you had to be in the wind to catch 'em too.(ugh!)

-

And what stinks, is I have a new-to-me boat; and in my haste to get down here; I forgot to put my OAF stickers on the outboard!:-(........may have to run down and see Phil this morning for some more today while the monsoon passes.:-)

I'm pretty sure my temps are correct, and we fished Cape Fair till 4 PM yesterday and the upper James to mid-james. Really not a ton of fish for us with about 20 mostly short LM Bucks 2 quality keeps in a Jaw and a LM. 58 degree at the Ramp at 7 AM and when we quit at 4 we had hit 60. I know this is the right temps.

Caught fish on Baby Brushogs, and jerkbaits.
