[cool][#0000ff]Not fishing tomorrow. Not enough horsepower to compete with the "amateurs". Should be a good day though, weather-wise. And, if you get off the water early enough you should avoid the masses.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The bite was steady, both in shallow water and deeper water on Friday. TubeBabe stayed in 9-11 feet of water, near the dike, and had plenty of bites. The fish were smaller though.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I had my best luck out in about 13-14 feet, like the trip we shared. But, last Tuesday, on the mini-floatilla, the fish moved shallow when the breeze kicked up. We were getting hammered in about 11 or 12 feet.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]My suggestion, if you go out of the south marina, is to move north along the dike, bottom bouncing your baits like you did last week. Stay out about 20 feet from the dike but move in and out once in a while. Sometimes the fish are right next to the rocks, as you well know.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you go north, fish the same area I was fishing, only move closer in and directly out from the trees around the inlet. When they turned on in there last Tuesday Flycasting and myself were hooked up constantly. I had two "doubles" to deal with.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck.[/#0000ff]
