Well I braved the storm that was free fishing day. I got down to AF harbor about 6:00 a.m. and only 2 vehicles were there. I figured "maybe free fishing day scared away all the fishermen, and today will be dead". Not the case. By 9:00 a.m. It was pretty crazy.
Anyways, I cruised south of the harbor in the old tube. It was a bit windy, and there was tons of boats and jet skiis cruising all over the place, but I made due.
Fishing was mediocre. Usually the first couple hours are pretty solid, but I only caught a fish about every half hour or so. I had shrimp out on one rod and white bass on the other. All fish were caught on the shrimp.

Ended with 2 mudders, 2 carp and 3 channels 18, 20, 23.5 inches.
When I got back to the Harbor I pulled my stringer of cats out the water and a few people fishing near were pretty jealous and wanted to check them out. They had only caught 2 mudders (which they were keeping). After I took my picures I set them free and the people nearly had a heart attack. Priceless.
