6/17 Saturday AM
Head out in the AM, 3 hours before Low and tied on the Lucky Craft 115MR Surf Pointer. Found a nice school of Yellow Fin Croaker. One of them had a fat belly! These fish are fun to catch on the hard bait. Caught about 4 YFC.

Decided to move to try a new spot and a new lure. The Lucky Craft Staysee 90 Version2. American Shad.
What an epic morning it was. I was getting blown up on every cast. Easily caught over 10 WSB. My arms were soar! These fish put such a great fight.
My biggest was 24,5 inches.

I found a big school of them for sure. They were chasing bait fish all over the place.

Didn't get pictures of all them because these fish are hard to revive after a lengthy fight.

Amazing session for sure.
6//18 Sunday AM
Headed out this morning to try and find the school again. Surge was a lot stronger today and there was stingrays all over the place! Stepped on a couple, but I lucked out though. Was fishing the Lucky Craft Pointer 100 American Shad.
Ended the session with 5 White Sea Bass today. Couldn't find that legal. But so much fun battling these fish.

When my hooks finally bent out on the Lucky Crafts,I even got a couple WSB on the Hook up Baits.
Its a weekend of fishing that was just so much fun. Thanks for reading and be safe out there. Until Next tide!
