Got up at 4:00 AM, left by 4:30, lines in the water before 7:00.

Trolled just downlake of Noisy Creek using 0 or 00 silver dodgers in front of mini pink hoochies with a single 3/0 red hook. Used about 9 or 10 inch leaders and added shrimp smelly stuff. Make sure to use at least 20 lb test for your leaders as we've snapped off one and heard of a lot more.

We caught one 7 lber in the first hour and that was all for the day. It was a pretty fat one and its head was starting to turn green. By the time we left at noon, there were only five boats left on the water after 25-30 at the start. Saw a few fish caught, but not as fast and furious as other days, probably due to the weather. There were low clouds with about 5-8 mph winds. We've had and seen better success when the sun is out.

The second picture is from late July when we caught 3, so since I forgot to post a report then, I figured I'd include them here.
