Cape Fair 1/28

[cheesemaster]

I launched at 9:45 to clear skies and no wind. I thought it was going to be a slow day and it was. Water temp was 40.1. I started with some bottom junk that didn't work. So I went to a jerker and caught 2 shorts and 1 keeper. The keeper went 2.10lbs. The keeper had a lot of black on her, it was a beautiful fish!!! I took out at 3:30. Short report because of the lack of action. Here is the 1 keeper. The other side of this fish had way more black on it.

Cheese, nice fish. I hope the three fish were spaced out in time to keep the day interesting.

Thanks for the report, sounds like the Rock is still fishing tough.  I fished Beaver today near the dam and it was slow as well, 3 smallies and an LM.  I'm not complaining however, beautiful day to be out.

Seems like your reports you always seem to get a good one. A 2lber right now from recent reports is great. We fished Upper Bull yesterday....7 hours and 3 only  short bass, it kinda stung.

I fished from 9:00 to 1:00 today from KC to Point 9 today without a bite.  Jerkbait, grub, and jig were all non-producers for me.  

I did see a significant number of shad floating, and lots more struggling 3-5 feet under the surface, so I'd say we are starting to see a legitimate shad kill.  I probably saw in the hundreds today, but based on the number of shad I graphed today, there's still a more than healthy population.
