Default Shaker report

Fish the mid-MC this afternoon. Just in time for the 2 inch rain storm. As I don't really know what I'm doing yet, we got a total of 6 and three to the boat. One was right at 40 inches :depressed: and the other two were less than that. Had one that did the zzzz...snap thing and one that I fought for a spell and then spit the hook, felt like a keeper size. Using last years smelt, thanks to freebies from TALONS, and gooped it all up with shrimp smelly jelly. Had a lot of fun as my wife finally figured out how to keep warm and she managed a couple of the fish. Saw quite a few boats and saw some keepers at the ramp. HAve a good Superbowl, I gotta work

Good report! We fished the channel in the rain on Wednesday. Saw a gillnetter taking out right as we were launching. He had some NICE gators in the bag Me, still in search of my first keeper...we ended up boating quite a few shakers and 7 that were between 38-41!! We almost had a keeper, measuring 41 7/8....CRAP!! :grin: Smelt seemed to be the hot ticket, but squid caught a few also! Hope to be out there next week again!!
