Got a last minute trip together with Anthony, Brian, Bryan, and Socks. Our plan was to fish for a few hours until sunset as an afterwork trip.
We got outside the inlet and joined the fleet just N by 545, and we quickly got our bunker and started swimming them over some great marks and inside the pods.
First drift we had about a half dozen runoffs, a few hook ups, and a nice 32# in the box. For a few minutes we lost the fish, but then we got back on em' and started getting several runoffs per drift with plenty of hooks ups amidst many misses as well. Bryan was able to put the screws to one that ripped off almost a half spool of line, we got her to the net and she put the digital to just a tad over 44#, estimated length was around 50" - easily Bryan's personal best! Even better, she was released unharmed a few minutes after we snapped some great shots.
Before dark we had more action, and as the sunset we had one wild drift where Socks put another slob in the boat, right @ 40# and 48" in length - another personal best!
Great evening, everyone caught fish and went home with a nice bag of fillets. We easily had 30+ bites, hooked up with about half the fish out of those bites, and boated a 44#, 40#, adn a couple 30-32# fish -- can't beat that!!!
