Bass and Drum--FISHIN' FEVER 4-13

[Fishin' Fever]

Today we had Mike, Brandon, Jim, Tom, and Rick out to see if we could find some bass after the hard NW blow the day before. It seemed the pod of fish from Saturday made a move as that area was dead. We looked around and found some marks and stayed on them the whole trip as noone was doing anything from the reports I was getting. Jim started things off with putting a great early spring bass of 23lbs in the box! 20 minutes later Jim is on again, this time with a 19lb bass! We hit a bit of lull for a while then Brandon bowed up on fish which turned out to be our first drum of the 2009 season weighing in at 32lbs. We stuck it out for the rest of the tide and a little of the next but nothing doing. Thanks for hanging in there guys and for fishing with us. Looking forward to doing it again.
