Didn't make it out for the Saturday morning bite. We (my Wife and I) were able to get out around 5 p.m. Saturday evening(along with every other boat in the state). Trolled my usuall u-rigs, green swim baits and white trailer and 3/4oz lead heads, west of Gills and past Piney Point for several passes and was only marking spotted fish and had no luck. Around 7 we decided to move to the east of Gills and try. Trolled (30' depth) the old BW river bottom and were lucky enough to get 4 to the boat and safely returned. Ranging from 21 to 28 inches. I think my wife is hooked. We marked small schools of fish in 30-40 fow. Enjoyed the time with my wife more than anything.
I was too busy "playing" with my new sonar and did not notice the water or air temps when we first started. I did notice the WT was at 79.5* when we started to catch fish.
A friend and I headed out around 6:30 Sunday a.m. and started trolling around the same spot I went the previous day and hit fish right away. Fish were in 30-40 FOW, AT was 63* and the WT was 77.1*. Marked several fish and we ended up boating 8 and returned all but 2 for table fare.
