Fletcher Fishing

posted by John on May 18

Another banner day, we cruised out at 6:00 am to the good spot and again fished up until the tide slacked out, 8 am.

Best fish of the day – 39″  20# – I caught this one on a lead head with a larger sluggo, also light green Ronzi worked, silver Ronzi worked,  and the fake looking sand eel worked (made out of real sand eel oil).  This fish was really fun, because I took it on my smallest rod. Shimano Spheros 4000 reel on a medium light duty Fenwick Eagle GT rod. It was a good fight.

This is the other – 36″ 17# – that we kept. We only had one hour, and the bite died off. Everyone else seemed to be chunking with cut bait. Jigging is much more fun than chunking. Especially when you are treated to great fishing. Thursday May 14th was better, that was a late bite – six pm.  This picture is a bit of a spot burn.
