Yes the opener can be a zoo but most of the boaters are quick out of the launch so it goes pretty fast. October is a great month to fish from a boat into November if the weather holds. Then May and June are typically a great trolling and jigging bite Thanks for the comment Tight lines
Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you have had calm seas, and tight lines. We just got back and the bite was slower than the opener but we got some nice fish going South, Popcorn area and vicinity. Trolling flat fish at 1.9 to 2.3 MPH 45 to 55’ on the wire. Still seeing concentrations of bait but there are a lot of sore lips so the fish are more of a challenge. We saw 13 to 14 fish per rod the two days we fished. Best of luck to you.
