9-16 Cape Fair

[Dutch]

Jeff met me around 06:30 this morning.  We fished down lake.  We used jigs, C rigs, several different shaly worms and Zman ZinkerZs shaky style.  The only thing that we could catch fish using was the Zman worms.  We caught them on several colors but Coppertruse was the best today.  We had several good solid fish but most were just shy of 15”.  We only had 3 keeper largemouth but wound up catching 25.  It was very cloudy and misty.  It got breezy around mid day.  They bit pretty good for an east wind.

Dutch got me today, he caught 20 of those 25.  He's got the technique of fishing those Z-Man Zinkerz down pat.  I took mental notes and I might be able to stay close to him next time out.

Sounds like he is a pretty good stick.

And I know you are too. 
Good work guys. 
Thanks for the report. 
Did you happen to catch the water temp?

76 at the Bridgeport ramp on Monday afternoon, probably 78 on a Bird or Lowrance, Garmins seem to read a couple degrees cold

76-77° on my birds below Cape.  It was nice to finally see the ramp and parking lot open.
