Eagle Mountain 5/30/10

Fished with first time guests Frank and Debbie today.  Marked the fish on the hump I caught them at yesterday, but only managed to catch 7 fish.  Checked almost every hide out for this time of year and marked fish, but could not buy a decent bite today.  I would mark fish, toss the marker, and then they would disappear.  Man they are moving fast right now.  Tried to do the sand bass boogie, but it didn't work either.  Finally got out the dreaded Hell Pet and caught 3 more to end the day at a disappointing 10 fish.  Worked hard, burned fuel looking, and did everything to get some bites, but they kept their lips sealed today.  Saw lots of boats looking for schoolies, but never saw another fish caught all day.  I think the no wind, holiday boat traffic, full moon, and hot temps have caused a transition into summer patterns faster than normal.  Hopefully, catching will get back to normal in a couple of days.  Look forward to making up the trip with Frank and Debbie soon.  I knew it was going to happen eventually and today was the day for a trip that needed to be made up.  We'll get them next time.
