Catching big bass in the upper bay with live bait

Eelman Nolan ends the day with a pair of 20-pounders
Bill "Eelman" Nolan continues to catch big bass in the upper Bay with live menhaden.
"I am fishing in tight along the shorelines of the Bay Islands," he says. "Just about any shoreline with boulders and a food source nearby is holding fish now.While the fishing is good, overall it's not as good as last year, Last year the Bay was loaded with larger bass (over 35 pounds). This year there are alot of high teen to 20-pounders and a few 30-pounders in the mix.
"We also only have about half the menhaden as last year so, while still good, it is taking more effort to catch fish, lots of running around and several hours to find quality fish. It is still early, however, and June will tell the story."
