Thursday, April 26 (from Ron)...Shifted to saltwater this evening, in hopes of finding chopper bluefish, but all I found
was a dink grey trout to avoid the skunk. The big blues are there; you just gotta
find 'em.
Friday, April 27 (from Ron)...Still trying to find my chopper bluefish fix, but can't seem to find one...yet. Had to settle for a consolation red drum that gave a helluva fight and
drug the kayak around for a bit. Was just over slot. Saw a guy land a few of the big blues on topwater. They were not
interested in my go-to bucktail with a paddletail trailer. Stocked my box with
some topwater lures and plan on going back at dawn. Once I get a few, I can revert back to the uncrowded creeks and chase the
bass 'n' bowfin.
Saturday, April 28 (from Ron)...Fished Rudee Inlet from 0600 'till 1230 and caught a few bluefish to 22 inches, not
the choppers I hoped to find. Came home and cleaned up, then rested a spell and went
back out at 5 p.m. Six and a half minutes after launch, I caught the chopper pictured here while trolling a bucktail paddle-tail combo. He drug me around for five minutes of drag-screaming
excitement. Continued fishing for another 2 hours without another tap. Feeling
very lucky.
Saturday, April 28 (from Ray)...Late getting on the water due to seat problems and fished the upper West
Neck. The tributaries were clearer than the main river. Water temperature was
in the 60s. At one point, there were five boats within sight of each other. Caught
only two bass: a 1.75 and a dink...may have been a dinkette. Tube and Senko worked for me, although I tried several lures.
