Thanks to the statewide public school Spring Break this week, my fishing calendar is completely full with 2 trips per day scheduled each day from Monday through Saturday. Each day I aim to provide a quick snapshot of the action … Tuesday was pretty tough thanks to near-calm, bright post-frontal conditions in the morning following yesterday’s dry cold front passage. The fishing picked back up in the afternoon after a 10-12 mph SSE breeze kicked in from 3p until dark.
