Cape Fair 6/3

[cheesemaster]

Launched at 5:30am and it felt great to get back on the water!! It seems like two months have passed since I have fished. 

Water at splash time was 76.0. I started with a top water with nothing. Threw several different lures and a Red Eye Shad was the best for me, and if you didn't kill it every 5 cranks or so you were not getting bit. Fished until 10:00 And then had to start working on the house again.

Caught only 2 keepers with about 12 shorts. Pretty slow day but it was awesome to get back on the water!!!! Largest was about 2.5lbs if you don't count a gar that I caught that was about 3 feet long. I really thought I had something special - Nope.

The shad were flipping like crazy along the trash by the bank, that's were I had my best luck too. They must be spawning.

Water was good color and pretty free of debri.

Red Eye Shad, I'll be darned.  Good to see you back out on the water.

Nice job cheese!..........I said the same thing when reading that report.(lol) 

The red eye shad makes sense now when I think about it; but it's those kinds of decisions on the water that elude me.(doh!)
