Had a fun time today. Was 65º to 66º and very clear. Not a lot of current either. I had 4 in the first 1/2hr, then 5 in the last hour. Barely a bite between. Paddlerz and the Zoom Fluke did it for me. Only got bit once on the slip jig and couple of times times on the Flurry. I definitely noticed a difference when I didn't put on the Hot Sauce and I think Ron noticed the same with the butter. Looking forward to our next outing. And Thanks Steve for the Pumpkin Spice Flukes.
