Wow, I really wasn’t expecting to see this size of fish in the bay for the end of August. I had the opportunity to take the kayak out and fish in the evening with short windows of time so I looked around in the bay. Didn’t find much life at first but once the current started picking up with the outgoing water, I think some big fish moved in to ambush the little bait that was around.
