Mid July I got some fresh sand eels from a friend on the board (thanks P.) woke up got on my boat and met Little Round and BasicPattrick on the way out in Alan's boat. We fished a couple spots getting a keeper here and there and then decided to go for a jog to a spot we hadn't tried yet this year. About half way there alan pulled back the throttle and said he wanted to try right here because it looked fishy.
I threw a sand eel over on my super light St Croix noodle rod and in about 10 seconds it bent over and the drag was just screaming. It was a 26lb fish that was a great fight on light tackle. We stayed there for the rest of the tide and everyone hooked up on every drift. We also found a great spot that continued to produce in the following weeks and I smoked a great cigar thanks to Pattrick.
