if i was in tourney that only counted 12 inch fish i would of won yesterday.........i did manage two decent 3 pounders, but the majority were rats........most of the fish came off a mann's 1 minus that was run parallel to the shore.........as it hit the bottom i would stop the bait and let it float up.........it was on the next retrieve they were taking it........the bigger fish came on a senko and were sitting in a half of foot of water...........they were way back in a inlet and i missed them the first time, but went back an hour later and was able to pick them up........overall, a great way to start april vacation and i look forward to a good week of fishing....i am even suppose to go salmon fishing with salmonseeker on friday........should be a blast.........good luck fishing today
