November 6, 2010, Half time weekend report, it's been a busy week, but the BASS ARE BACK ! (Hint tomorrow may be GREAT !), Maybe it's not a full scale blitz yet, but today was a great one with Chris Keiker, Dave and son Todd, we hunted up the bass and filled the cooler. It was a tough start since we started early and I hoped the inlet would light up, but it was another blow out on the incoming. It was windy , but with the trolling motor I could do some looking. Finally as the tide began to switch way in the back of the Broad Creek area we connected and Chris scored first with a nice one. Then it was just a mater of finding the right bank and getting the bait in the holes and we kept them coming until the final total of seven keepers up to the big one by Todd which just missed 19 pounds on the scale. They were all caught on my new spot supply which are back to normal price at $3.00 each, but are really good sized baits. The clams are working in the back as well and Mike Mangan came back into the same area and fished the bottom of the tide and landed these two, Mike had the big one that went almost 24 pounds and Vincent had the 11 pounder to make a pair.

I just got in some real nice bunker landed by a local gill netter and he said that there were blues with the bunker and he believes that if the weatherman is correct all hell will break loose with the forecast west wind. I am dropping the price of the bunker to $2.00 each or $20 a dozen and if you are headed to the beach or want to anchor up they should be the ticket to your next cow.

Yesterday was a good start that put me into the area of today's fish when Mike Barnet and crew put up with a windy day to put a pair of fat keepers in the boat and several shorts released to keep the rods bent. All in all these are just shadows of what is to come!
