We began the week cool and wet. We had heavy fog for three days, warmed up and ended with wind and rain early. The rest of today was beautiful. Somehow, the water stayed clean until today. The fish apparently haven’t thawed out from last week’s freeze. As you can see in the daily activity, there were very few fish caught. Bait was absent along with the bite. Check the pier population this morning during and shortly after the rain.
