Partners cancelled but Albert and I made it out a little later this morning. We fished the Inner Bay from 10:00 am to 10:45 with little success. The water was relatively cold at 56 F and still cloudy. We had a few pike on and landed a bass but decided to take a run to Bluff Bar after the better part of an hour.
The bite at Bluff Bar was awesome even though most of the fish were small at 3 pounds or less. We lost count but guessed 30 pike by 1:15 pm when we quit. Biggest was 5 pounds 13 ounces which we had to keep because it swallowed the jig and was bleeding too much to consider a successful release. We only fished with jigs at the bar. The water was clear and 55 degrees F.
