I hear ya on the shipping channel.must have been in similar area on thursday,started at gravel pit,hit a few and then turned small, moved out by lighthouse were pack was,lotta sheeps and small ones,moved way out between red/white and green;white on channel and hit some nice ones.even got a 12 incher,and several 10-11 inchers.23 fish,12lbs.
got a late start so i had to work for them,and it was odd, the bigger the fish the softer the bite.and bigger shiners,over 3 inch,were magnets for junk fish and the smaller perch.
