Afternoon trip to try and land some Reds, with cold weather pushing in I knew we could land a few in this area. Slow bite and little wait paid off, we used popping corks and chatter weights. I would say the popping cork landed more fish but thats because it covered more area. popping cork: amzn.to/48Y1FwZ amzn.to/3SoJkDV Music UA-cam Libary No Indication by TrackTribe

Straight and to the point, quick DIY on changing lower unit oil. Motor is a Suzuki 200, all check for metal shaving or milky colored oil. If you are unsure take it to a mechanic or someone with experience. Yes, Suzuki makes a gear oil for the unit but no one had it in stock.

Gulp or Mullet

Water temps were warm and the report has been slow on catching flounders. When going after flounder it's always good to have mullet in the bait bucket. Lures work fine but some people will debate that.
