My son and I put the boat in this morning. After getting the fenders and lines in place, we went out to do some preseason scouting. The water in shallow was a little dirty so we ran out. The water cleared up before we got to locust reef so we used the sonar to look around some. There were 3 boats fishing about a quarter mile south of the reef but as we rode through there slowly, we didn’t mark many fish. Continued to the west side of the reef and started marking fish. We made a short drift there picking up one. Moved to the north side of the reef and drifted back along the west edge of the reef and picked up 5 more in about an hour and headed in to enjoy a good meal and warm up
