Fished the Mid-Channel bank on Friday, thought it would be better then it was being only the second day of the opener. We started fishing around 0930 and had a few shakers by noon, all jigging. Got one small fish about 24 inches that would have been thrown back but it was a bleeder, about 1 pm. Kept searching finally picked up a 7 pounder at the tide change at 3:30 and lost a nice 10 pounder just before dark. A slow day for mid-channel but two fish for three people is not to bad. Their were Chum jumping all over the place, but we were more interested in nookies. One surprising thing is that we saw very little birds or bait in the area, a first for up there.
