Friday around noon time on the outgoing I arrived at the same spot Jeff and I hit Thursday, hoping I could get into those fish I lost. I came prepared with my 8 foot Star Rods Aerial Surf/Penn Pursuit II/30 pound Spiderwire Stealth and made sure I also brought my legendary pearl grey shiner FLR-16.
When I arrived there was a steady east wind that got a bit stronger as the afternoon went on and water temps felt 2 or 3 degrees colder than the day before.
Other than the FLR-16, other lures I tried throwing were purpledescent FLR-10, smelt BXM-10, blueback herring LC-12, glass ghost XRW-11, spotted minnow SXR-10, purpledescent BXM-10, and flake purple ghost MXR-15.
It wasn't until dead low got closer I had some hits. 4 came on the FLR-16 and 1 on the MXR-15 while I had 1 schoolie come shooting for the XRW-11 twice and a striper that looked to be in the mid or upper 20s also explode on the XRW-11. I worked the XRW-11 like a pencil popper.
The hits I had on the plugs all seemed to be curious schoolies that weren't into it much compared to the way it has been. Quick hit and tug without setting the hook. |

| The bait has moved and so have the bass. If you can find the bait the fishing has been just fine |

| They are probably in that other river that runs into the river that we all fish in |
