Found them! Porgy and Sea Bass in the Middle Sound

Started out trying a few new boulders then a few familiar ones to see if I could find some porgies and sea bass in the sound. For some reason the porgies (scup) are still not thick in the western sound yet so it was nice to get on very good bite for the first time this season. I was finding fish in all depths from the kayak ranging 10'-40' but I also noticed a lot of the porgies were still releasing their gametes so it seems they haven't finished spawning yet, which in years past usually is end of May. That might also explain why there were so many party boats stacked in one spot as well. Anyways it turned out to be a great little trip, fresh fish for days! swimshad setup: Rod: modified shimano TMSX66M    • Cutting the last eye off a new fishing rod...   Reel: daiwa KGLT2000D-XH    • Daiwa Kage LT 2000D-XH unboxing   Mainline: Berkley x9 8lb. crystal https://amzn.to/38sLXjA (affiliate link) Leader: Yo-zuri Hybrid Mono 15lb. test: https://amzn.to/3QNrH08 (affiliate link) Lure: 3/4oz. jig heads with eliasVfishing 5.5" shad ultra-light setup: Rod: Shimano stimula 6'-6" ultralight Reel: Diawa FEGLT1000 https://www.amazon.com/Daiwa-Fuego-Sp...
