Went to Brown's Point this morning. Tide was low, lots of fisherman but no fish. The theme seems to be the same when I talk to others around. Not much fish. Maybe still too early?

Went to Brown's Point around 5:30am-9:00am. Saw 2 caught and a few splashing around. Got a bite but didn't land any. The pinks are showing up but they are few and far between.
