What a difference a day makes


Date: 13 April 2012
Air Temp: 60
Water Temp: 63 degrees
Wind: NNW 7-12 mph
Sky: Clear
Tide: HIGH @ 1pm

Aquia Creek

Fished the slack water at the top of the tide.  Picked up two off shallow water structure (duck blind and concrete chunks).  There was a good breeze, but nothing like the last few days.

Around 3:30, something happened.  I picked up 5 good keepers in 30 minutes without moving the boat 20 yards (Traps in the grass tight to lay downs).  I caught two more in the half hour after that (7 fish in an hour, 9 total).

I fished 20 more minutes without a bite, so I called it a day.  I plan on being out a good part of the day tomorrow, so I figured I could cut this one short.  Hope I don't regret it.  Fish watch was going off 6:30pm and I was on the couch.
