I think it was 89 or 90,early November at the Quonnie Breachway.We stopped at Cove Edge and grabbed a dozen eels from Henry Hetu.
Got out of the truck,wind howlin out of the north,temps in the mid 20's.Out at the end of the breachway on the hard side,outgoing tide.Now you have to appreciate these conditions.It was sooo windy that all you had to do was pitch the eel and away it went.As soon as the eel hit the water there was a bass on the end of the line.
12 eels,12 bass!! I kept one 29lbs,my buddy kept one 27lbs.I swear all these fish were the same size!!We were freezing.One hour later we were in the Andrea Hotel toasting the kind of fishing I doubt I will ever see again.
