Anybody been there lately? How did it go?

I was talking to Rob Herbst... He said he was there two weeks ago and they were killing them. (Not literally) I did get all of the details, but I'll see if I can find out a bit more for you.

MMT- My "Operatives" inform me that yes, the bass are biting and that a few have been "quite big".

Now, knowing that FL Guide John McCardell once caught a 6-something to win an early Club Classic, I asked more questions, but no one's talking. (Remember, I'm from CT)

Seriously, if I can aid Brendan in answering this, I'll try to drum up some comments.
Be well. JoeMo

I'm going to have to get Dan to take me out there. I was there once. I remember a good bite and some huge white perch.

Checked out a couple of friends who were there a month or so ago. They said "Nothing real big, but we had a number of threes."

In the absense of lunkers, threes work for me.

Big Reed has been producing numbers with a couple of Bass to Four pounds, the water is low and weedier than normal, if you are interested in size not numbers, Hither Hills and Fort Pond are a better bet. I am staying out of the Hamptons until they stop ticketing every vehicle that is towing a trailer. Senkos once again are the ticket. Good Bassin Dan Bass
