Trip turns incredible despite conditions.
Recovering from the flu and battling less than desirable conditions, Marsh Man Masson set out this week in search of ANYTHING that would bite. The day started strong, but then he had to go do a little exploring, in search of consistent action.
Surprisingly — especially to Masson — he found one of the best bites of the year, boating fish after fish, including some legitimate bruisers that strained his forearms and scratched his fishing itch.
The hot bait of the day, by far, was a Zoom watermelon red candy Speed Craw, although a Zoom junebug red Speed Worm, Z-Man CrossEyeZ jig and H2O Express CRS crankbait also delivered bites.
Equipment used included a 6-foot, 8-inch, medium-heavy-powered Shimano Crucial rod teamed with a Lew’s Tournament MB baitcasting reel as well as a Castaway Skeleton light-powered rod and an Abu Garcia Revo ALX.
Winds were blowing 12 to 15 knots out of the northeast, and due to the sustained breezes, the tide was rising swiftly, despite the charts showing a weak tide day.
