I stopped behind Bart's from 4:30-6:15 PM after work. There were a few people there, but not nearly as many as Saturday.

The water was high, in fact a little higher than Saturday, clear with little current, and a surface temp of ~52°F. It was raw, and the wind made it feel worse, and it was breezy to boot. One of the regulars had 5 shad on his stringer when I arrived, and others reported they had a shad or two earlier in the day. Nobody reported catching any alewife, FWIW.

I managed to C & R two bucks. One dinky little thing, but the 2nd was decent, pushing 3# and fought pretty well. It was a good, if cold day to be out.

Terminal tackle: 2+ ft flouro leader under a 3/4 oz. drail. The winning willow was a red (reflective prism tape), and orange w/black spot on hammered silver.

I will certainly be out tomorrow, with the clearing weather and warmer temps, I'm thinking things will be picking up. Tight lines!
