Fairhaven 4/18

[lumberjohn]

Headed East to Ninemile Point/Eightmile Creek area. Worked over waters 15''-55' finding 25'-35' the sweet spot. Fished 7-11 AM with 16 hook-ups, 12 boated Browns before wind shifted west with 2-3' waves building. 2 Boards with 1 & 2 color lead core out pulling Smithwick My Secret and a Citric Shad shallow sticks took a number of hits. 2 flat lines pulling deep diver Bandits back 100 never took a shot today. Riggers were humming back 40 down 16. Stinger Helmut has outshined everything I've put in the water this season yet again. The other rigger took a few fish on a chrome Blackeyed Peas flasher and Blackeyed Peas spoon. Speed 2.1 - 2.5 Largest Brown 6 lbs.
