Got to the launch and boat in the water at 0500. Lines wet by 0510 and we were fishing. We were using a combo that has gotten us consistent limits on American the last few weeks (50/50 DN dodger, red/gold wedding ring w/real silver or real gold blade) but we didn't hook up with our first fish till 0630. After we started to get it dialed in and changed set-ups a few more times, we were slowly able to pull out our limit, 10 fish total, in about 6 hours. Weather was decent and boat traffic was at a minimum compared with the last 4 or 5 times out. Only gave it a 3 because there was so much time between hook ups. Out of the last 5 trips to American, we were able to limit in less than a couple of hours (I launched at 0600 on Sat. May 17th and was loaded up and headed home with a 2 person limit by 7). Fishing has been absolutely RED HOT for me the last few weeks, but 6 hours for a limit just seemed so SLOW in comparison.
