Cape day 2

[flukebelly]

Sunrise trip to a great freshwater pond and started out with 4 solid 3-4lb bass and then switched to giant slab bluegills. Bluegills were jumping all over Gulp 2in minnows.

mid afternoon trip back to brackish pond to continue the beat down on monster white perch ! I found a school of solid 13-15 in fish along with medium sized fish on every cast. My buddy struggled a little without an anchor in 25 mph winds, but still found a couple dozen. In one pic you can kind of see the fish hitting the 14in mark on my paddle.

I would but my buddy WILL NOT GO INTO open salt water . He is terrified of sharks . We bust on him all the time but he watches too many shark shows. We only have one truck this trip due to our other friend getting  heart surgery and having to miss the trip this year, so we fish together all week.

Blues are on the south side beaches pretty heavy…going for them off the surf later this week.

Sharks! You are a good friend.

If you put a shaker of salt into a pool he wouldn’t go in !

I certainly hope you have the theme from Jaws recorded on your phone and play that even on ponds!  😄

My aunt lives in Chatham. Between the seals and all the great white warning signs on beaches I don’t blame your buddy lol.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like an amazing time. Can’t believe the size of those blue gills.
