we had a cool down since beginning of the week incl a storm,cold front with high winds,today high pressure following and still this week so far the stanek group boated a 50,hardys a 49,miles a 51,norkowicz a 51.5,narsettes 48,theres been a bunch of 42-48's boated,i know of at least 4 real good fish in the 50"+ range lost at boat side as well as many close calls on boat side manuevers as 90% of the fish caught are happening there lately.quite a few fish 52-55" have been raised,also i don't know what is going on but both scott and cal have had guests raise fish pushing that magic 60" and a good friend of mine who guides for another resort told me the same thing, all in the past 2-3 days which normally you only hear reputable stories of fish that size showing up maybe once a year or less.maybe this will be the year.
a cool down this time of the season really is expected and should occur,what i hate is the opposite really.as the nights get longer,days shorter,and temps start to slowly drop going into fall is a heat wave and rising water temps.
obviously it's a wait and see deal as my crystal ball is a bit foggy but what typically you see during a cool down is rocks becoming a dominate pattern possibly seeing fewer fish but when they come a high % are serious and want to dance.
