Pilot - Heck of a day came up short SWABC 8/9
« on: August 10, 2014, 12:11:51 PM »
Kooz, Paulie and I made crew while brother Jay was slurping down steins of ale in Germany chrz. Should've been there.   Game plan was hatched with a couple targets in mind.  Excellent drift conditions and bites on every one.  Paul had his game face on and didn't disappoint.  The lad managed a double limit and started into the extra bonus round.  Ratios were very good with keeps out distancing shorts.  11 in the tub by 7:45 and we continued to look for the right one.  Biggest 4 lber came on a speck jig dressed with bunker strip (Donnie style).  Not nearly enough to dance but we had a good time trying.   We were on it with the a fourth limit by 10:30 (three man limit kept).  Tough tossing back keepers as it is a major change from recent outings.  We've been challenged to get a consistent bead on fish before a change of tide, running current or wind shift throws you off your game.  

One fish came up with littoral tag which was cool. will know details later.

Overall, a good day with plenty of fillets for the table and neighbors.   t^

Marc maybe next year. LOL
