Headed out with the son, my bro-in-law John, and my buddy Frank for an early shot at the bass. Broke the inlet before the sun was up and started looking for fish. Lots of bait and as soon as it cracked light there were bass all over the top. It was drop and reel fishing for a solid hour with mostly bass and big blues. As it got later the blues took over and it became difficult to catch the bass. We put six bass in the box from 29-36" and released a bunch more. Also, took some blues for shark baits. All of the fish were caught on naked Ava 67s. We were back at the dock by 0900 hrs and I burned less than 10 gallons of fuel. God Bless our troops and keep them in your prayers!!!
