Launched about 6:45 am and tried shallow water pattern in one of the coves in Calville Bay about 2 points northeast of Calville Wash. Then went into Pumphouse cove and Saddle Cove.
No bites even though we gradually moved into deeper water.
Met a fisherman who reported 2 bass on Jitterbug and 2 stripers on Spinnerbait early.
Motored upstream of Hamblin Cove about 2:00pm and hooked one striper within 8 ft. of shore - maybe 3 lbs and he got away with my shadrap. Got one other bite off a secondary point in about 7 to 10' on brass and glass.
At the launch ramp about 6:00pm talked to 2 other boats - one caught nothing and another caought just one fish all day. Surface temperature reading was in high 50's , I think my sonar unit needs calibration - so don't believe that temp. the hand test says maybe 53 to 55 most places.
