Pigs at El Capitan 7/8

Post by Dannicus »

Got on the water at 5:15 and picked up these two porky beauties in the first 30 minutes. I actually lightened the first picture. I took it in much lower light than it appears. After the second photo conditions became clear and bright and the topwater bite was kaput.

I picked up a handful of 1-2 pound clones over the next few hours but by far the two biggest were those early topwater piggies. Here's to hoping we get some nice overcast mornings over the next few weeks to extend the topwater bite later into the morning.

Tight lines,
Dan

Nice work! I have have a few topwater bites at Cap where I almost could not see the bite and had to rely on sound. They do let you on pretty early sometimes there.
Some good ones there for sure=)

Yeah, I think I will head there early tomorrow too. I'm pretty sure Murray is still all messed up from the 4th. I like Murray because it's closer, but El Cap is an old favorite too
