First North River Trip Of 2013

Decided I would do much more saltwater fishing this year than in previous years, so I got it going today by stopping by Belsan's bait shop, where he recommended white Shankas on offset Gamakatsu's. Went to the North River at the Driftway boat launch for about 2 hours and got numerous hits and landed two little schoolies. Several strikes at the Shankas but also on a Bomber topwater (red and white) and a Gulp! Mullet grub. Great start to the season and I'll be sure to remember than they bite best when the tide is low and incoming.
