Decided no way we were trolling today, so rigged up some shads, spoons and poppers. Headed east early casting on bunker pods with nada.

Decided to get the hell out of the mess and went shallow and found the fish. Hearing of everyone catching 30-40-50 pounders (in the reports anyway) yet we managed to find the 26-28 inch bass. Followed a single bunker pod for almost 2 hours picking bass on the outskirts of the school the whole time while being all alone. A hooked bass was followed up to the boat by 2-3 others.
Bass were keyed in on one particular shad color we had for some reason. Spoons and poppers did zip. All released happy and healthy.
Insane amount of bunker in the bay. Water temps 63 east up to 66 in the back.
Pulled her onto the trailer and called it a season. On to tog season.
