Didn't expect to see the huge swirls in the water when I turned the corner.At the time the moon was behind that long skinny bank of clouds.The activity seemed to coincide with the cloud cover.The tide was also very high and outgoing.

It was July 14th last year when I got a 24lber in the same spot on a blurple bomber.

Changing the factory hooks to VMCs is a damn fine idea.I never thought that the factory hooks might be the problem.Its not the 1st big'un I lost on a mambo.I've no desire to go anywhere near Newport today so I'll transplant from another plug temporarily.
