Well, the epilogue for the holiday week end -

Hit the Drive Monday nite, saw my friend Zeke at **** **** **** near ******* ***** - so I joined him for a few light hits no hook-ups, smaller fish - then we hit *******, Zeke had a low teens bass as soon as we got there on a bait tail (jig head with half an eel) - then nothing for the rest of the nite til 3 AM

We were getting hits on needlefish on the beaches earlier, small fish - that was it - it was sooo perfect too, beautiful white water, big tide push, foggy, and a SW blowing good - perfect except for the dearth of fish, that is.

So after being on a bass bender for the weekend, it's time to get to work - ON TOG

Yup, found a new spot for wading for some big 'chinners......
