Nice one Art.

I launched at 5:00 and went straight out. No bait till the kelp, then just scratched a half dozen. Saw some speed bait and some boils but nothing really substantial. Got bored and headed out. Made it over to the north just as the breeze picked up. Did two drifts before I decided it was getting to be more trouble than it was worth. Headed in. Packing up at the reserve line, I go to reel in the trapped rig that I left out till last. Feels hung up. Then twitches. Back way off and get a little flattie to color. Looks legal but I can't be sure, so I try to slide him onboard. Well, that doesn't work until the 5th try but he had the whole treble in his mouth so I figured I could risk it. Taped at 23" so he made the ride in with me. Already tossed my left over bait so I couldn't work the same drift. Will be a good taste test tonight, young vs old.
