FW & BC, I also want to thank you guys for getting me and the soon to be father of twins out on the harbor... Had a a lot of fun and got to see my new favorite spammer on the water

It's been a little while since I've seen the Marshfield Armada merge with the regular Boston Fleet but it was interesting to see all the boats chasing fish in different directions and avoiding collisions. Fortunaelty, all the fishing types are in the water long before the "pleasure" boats churn up the harbor into one seriously confused wake.

We saw numerous guides early in the morning, about half fly, half spin chasing the topwater fish. With everyone glancing back and forth to see what the other is doing. Lots of Jone's Brothers boats out there (actually, I like that boat, a modern heir to the old seacrafts?).

...only an extremely skilled professional with highly honed instincts could have hooked and landed such an agressive fish...
It was really funny because the fish came up & hit so quick, so close to the boat, we all were suprised he managed to keep his gear... Lesson to ya, if the rod ain't firmly in your hands, keep GS's plastics at least 3 feet above the water's surface....

S-M: Tell Britta she can keep the plastics and have fun
