Hey Predator, glad you could make it out today. One quick question, what is a lindy rig? I used to live in Florida and do some bassin', but I'm not familiar with that one. I'm looking forward to the spring summer on the bay. Don't know if you've ever tried just driftin' night crawlers out at the "island" or not, but we had some good luck with threading a crawler onto a 1/4oz jig head, motoring against the wind to the top of the island, then let the wind just drift us off of the edge. We landed some nice eyes, and even a couple of wipers doing that last year. Of course the little cats are regulars, but the fishin sure is fun. Do you ever talk to "Limpy" out there? Kind of a nick name I gave the guy, he fishes a nice bass boat (150 or 200HP), towed with a pick-up truck/camper combo, and he like to yell "that pole is as limp as my d__k!" to ya. Really nice guy, and he seems to really put the hurt on the eyes. I think he's out there almost every day. I've mostly seen him rig up a bottom bouncer, trolled pretty slow. Ther is also another regular I remember, I call him the "Chinaman", he's got a smaller boat, with a newer honda trolling motor (I think it's a new 4 stroke). He's always pretty quiet about his fish cathin'....kina lands them low, next to the water, without much of a rucuss. I've seen him land quite a few eyes as well. Can't be sure of his rig, but it looks to be bottom bouncers as well. Anyways I've babbled way too much, just gets me excited for the spring. Good luck the next time you go out! Maybe we'll run into each other out there this spring/summer.
