This has not been a stellar year for me. One, I have not been able to get out as much as I would like but also the times, I have gotten out I have not caught in good numbers. Today was different. Today is one of those days that you dream about.
Got a text from my friend Dave. He told me he was near Smith Point Lighthouse and was doing pretty good. Well why should work get in the way. I had a call I needed to take but I work remote anyway so on the boat counts.
No time to waste so I headed out. Got to him around noon and he was absolutely right, they were hitting. I started with my standard four rod setup but honestly, I couldn’t keep up, so I finally dropped back to two. Thank God for autopilot, I can’t imagine being that busy on the rods and driving the boat at the same time.
Finally, no mas, I got a nice 24″ in the boat and headed home.
