Headed out to the Marshlands again today. Arrived at 0 dark thirty. I wanted to take advantage of the morning feed.

Fortunately, the rain subsided. All that was left was an overcast sky and a nice breeze.
 
Last week, the frog bite was off the charts, so I wanted to see if I could duplicate experience.

Well, the bass did not disappoint! The morning feed was great!!

Violent and aggressive blow ups. I did unfortunately lose 2 - 5lbrs and 1- 6br. My top 5 bass would have been in the mid-twenties if those bass wouldn't have jumped off. :(

By 930-10am, the bite shut down. Despite the overcast skies. Go figure.

By 11:30, I was done. Great outing!
