Big Fish at the Bay Bridge

Friday, I got back out to the Bay Bridge to try some of the things we learned last weekend. The bite was red hot. The best lure was a gold stringsilver with the treble hook removed and replaced with a chartruse feather-dressed single hook. I bounced it off the bottom on the current side of the rockpiles. I caught 6 or 8 fish including a 23" & 24". I had a lot to do yesterday, but still found a two hour window to fish. I was wondering if it was worth it because it was fairly windy and the Bay was crowded with pleasure boats. I fought four foot waves near Sandy Point Light but was pleased to find no other boats on my fishing spot. The first drop produced a nice 24" fish. A few minutes later I hooked into this fat 28 incher. He tested out my 12lb test line pretty good, but I had the drag set loose and just let him run until he was tired. I ended up with about 10 fish in those two hours, all but one were over 18". I was so excited to be on big fish that were biting so welll that my hands were shaking and I could hardly feel my lures. The action was so hot at one time that I got crapped on by a seagull, but waited through two more hookups before I wiped it off! I'm going to wait until the weekenders get off the water, then go back after them this evening.
