Shore 6/17/26
I was supposed to fish with Jimmy today but we bagged that due to low water. I got out solo and was at my spot at 5:09am
I started with a popper but got no bites. I switched to a tiny whopper plopper.
That got a swipe on the first cast, so I stuck with that. After a couple misses, I got my first fish about 5:20am. It was a plump 15"er that would not sit still for measurement picture.
A couple minutes later, I was reeling the plopper through some swirling fish. One grabbed it and missed. I did not pull and a bigger fish immediately took the lure (pretty much stole it from the first fish). It pulled drag a few times before I got it to shore. I was able to measure this one.
It was now 5:36am. 
There were still a couple active fish, but nothing hit the plopper or a small ned style bait I tried. Other than a couple carp going crazy, the activity pretty much died by 6:15am. I was headed home by 6:30am.

Nice report! I love how late the sun stays up this time of year but I wish it didn't rise so early. I basically have to wake up in the middle of the night to get to my spots at sunrise.

According to the Solunar Calendar, the Major was from 2:27 AM-4:27 AM and the minor form 7:49 AM-8:49 AM. If you buy into this, you should have stayed! 
Time to go fishin' again!

Dang, that's some pretty scenary! Good on you for getting out and the fish. Something about success so early and finished before most people get up is very satisfying.
