Month of May in review

[Jimmy Fee]

Things went from 0-60 pretty fast. Many guys were just getting their first keepers and then suddenly 40's are being pulled from the canal. The good bites seemed to only last a couple days at a time, and shut off quickly. Getting more than a couple days of the same wind was a rarity, and there was an awful lot of North wind, which is probably to blame for the spotty fishing on the south side.

The full moon at the end of the month slowed down the night bite for me a couple nights, but when there was cloud cover, the fishing picked right back up.

Overall, the last week of the month gave up a ton of 20-25 pound fish (not just in the canal) and there was a small body of good fish that made a brief showing a couple nights a long ways from the waters of the ditch when the wind and tide were favorable. Landed a handful of them to 39 and had one real heartbreaker bend out an Andrus Jetty Caster Hook.

The next two weeks should be interesting, we ought to see some of the largest fish of the year taken in this time frame.

I had a good month of May fishing wise.
Lots of keeper size and bigger.

Last night was a fun night with a 24#- 42" long fish and 25 fish in the 24 to 32" range.

Also did some fly fishing for trout and salmon up in Maine during the new moon.
