Sounds like the fish are finally schooling up, with the numbers you guys are getting. Last year it was mid July when they were at 60 out of sbh.
Took my buddy and his wife and kids out for the last day of free fishing. Tried drifting the the south gap inside but there was no wind, so there was no drift. Damn gobys clean the harnesses off faster than you can bait them. So I set the kids up trolling jointed sticks. From donnellys to the round house. ( where chuck Norris lives by the way. lol). Hit 2 bass and 2 smaller eyes (17 and 18). But the kids were excited and had fun. So that's all that matters. Lots of small fish this year around the walls and such. I don't ever remember having to question the length of eyes night trolling. They were always 22-26.
