I was up near the shoal yesterday. Very slow, not a lot of marks. Got one good fish and then the rain came. Nothing like a good soaking to remind me how much fun I'm having. There was a decent bite there about a week or so ago. I've fished the Shoal and Gull my entire life and it seems that it gets better mid-May and on. The warm up seems to make that area catch fire. A lot of trophy fish have come off the Shoal and around Gull. Good luck.
