No storms for us last night , turned out to be a beautiful night on the water, stayed local and never left the river, just me and a hand full of Kayaks... a lot of fussy fish stuffed full of pogies I had one with a tail hanging out of its mouth, most had fat bellies ) just lazing along the flats, not overly interested in feeding… landed seven slots from 29 to 33" and one big gal around 30 lbs, all on eels, was back at the dock by 10:30.. had my first gut hooked fish last night, I suspect it was because I was already fighting a fish and the boat was drifting and there was no pressure on the line.. the hook was in the soft tissue in the roof of the mouth, pretty easy to remove no blood.. she was young and strong, I have faith.. water warmed a tad, was 65 at half tide in...

bugs and bass in the morning tomorrow..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
