I was out for a couple of hours today, 4:15-6:15 PM. Incredibly, the water was a little higher than last night. Not much current, but it was clear, and the surface temp was about 54°F. There wasn't much room to stand on the bank, back behind Bart's, so it was crowded. There was one shad on the bank when I got there, and another was C & R shortly after arriving. And there wasn't much to see after that: a couple of alewives, and a couple of more shad. Everybody said I should have been there an hour or so before I got out of work, when the shad were hitting.

Terminal tackle: 3/4 oz drail, over 3' flouro leader, and I threw a rainbow of colored willow for one alewife to keep the off. C'est la guerre...

Maybe tomorrow. Tight lines!
