Hey Dennis - nice job on staying afloat. I watched that pber drive by while you were on the fish - thought he might have spooked the fish but he sure had you rockin' and a rollin'.

I got one real early (6am) while trying to find bait with Brad. Big swirls with one fin breaking the surface - threw my white 7x with 30# at them and I was on. Had me spinning in circles with my sabiki rig out and a bait fish trailing as well. What a mess, but fun all the same. A 20# YT and four spanish macs hit the deck. After that there was lots of paddling, throwing iron, with some followers, but nothing stuck. I paddled over 4 or 5 YT boils - I think they were sleeping just below the surface and I woke them up. One group was right at the reserve line on my way in. Definitely a miss and hit morning.

Cool morning, no fog, and nice cloud cover - looked like the swell jumped up a bit too. Thanks for the pic Brad. I owe you one. Good luck out there - Arne
