Confirming earlier reports.....

That the top-water bite is still hot, Mike R. joined me last night for a stormy weather fishing trip over to the east side of the Bay Bridge. Mike and I have been fishing together for a few weeks now and I'm enjoying his company. There was rain and a sustained 17 kt northeast wind all day yesterday. I wouldn't have given us a 2 cent chance at catching fish when we left the dock. But when we reached the pipe, we started marking fish. Miked hooked up right away on a homeade jig. I saw fish high on the FF so started throwing my 6" top-water lure. The waves were so big I couldn't see the plug most of the time, but I did see this fish attack! I thought he was going to be a lot bigger than he was because he fought so aggresively! I've had my best fishing on the Bay in crappy weather. Glad to see the fish are still there!
