It has been an exciting run so far. 19 out of 60 teams have fished and the lead has changed hands several times. The bites have been coming up and down the ledge, and with warm water moving in it should be getting good!

The leaderboard is looking solid with highs 40s up to 60lbs so far. The teams that weighed have put themselves in a great position going into the Shootout!(April 18th-23 open to everyone including you! Check it out www.islandshootout.com

Here are the top 3 leaders. (to see the full leader board checkout www.scwahooseries.com)
