Sunday mornings trip we were out in a heavy fog. After making the run to were we had good to excellent fishing all week we found it not safe to fish there. Hearing and watching on the radar boats going by us at high speed I could not take the chance of having a center console in my cockpit so we were on the move again. We made a couple of drops but it was not our day. We only had 1 bass and a couple of blues.
The bass fishing bounced back for us in the afternoon with a limit catch for the Chris Lyle charter. With better conditions than the morning we picked away at the bass. The last hour of the tide was the best. Clams were the bait of choice.
