Jim, Dennis and I went fishing in their new (to them) Smokercraft. It's a nice roomy boat that rides well, with a big livewell that we filled today. At the risk of being boring, we had to go back and join the Necktie fleet as long as that is still working...used sardines & anchovies...sardines seemed a little more popular...both flylined and weighted on the bottom. We had several doubles and some triples going today.

Jim won big fish honors again with a 6 pounder he caught on the bottom...nice fight on 4 lb. line

By noon or so we had three limits...just the one big fish, but lots of 1-2 pounders...
The livewell with not much room left...

When cleaning these fish, all I see in their stomachs is pieces of sardine/anchovy...gotta wonder why they're hanging in that spot...don't see any shad in their stomachs or on the meter...there's a good bit of current there...maybe they like that? Whatever, gotta love it while it's good.
