Always great to see old friends and meet up with the new faces and the older ones I just hadn't met yet. Great cookout. Barbara and Mike have a great shop, great family, great dog, what more could you ask for?
I listened and learned more, asking questions about my new Abu 6501. JohnR, Pasngas, and Mike have me narrowing down my choice of rod to get for it. Held off on the Nautil Mitchell 6500 spinner until I get the baitcaster squared away. But I was drooling....
I bagged out of the trip out to the end of the Cape. T'was a good hardcore crew headed out, can't wait for that report. Also gonna be interested to see if SF made it to the boat in Plum Island at 0700 this morning.... Clammer's dead on about those eyes. Girl earned her stripes last night!
Me, as we all headed out to fish, my wipers refused to work...screwed. so I headed north before it got too dark. Fortunately the rain let up as I got further north. Around the point of no return, the wipers came on

So I fished til 2230 up here, alone, with nuthin' happenin but the rain.
Went out again at 0500, got two around 34", but no witnesses and outta bounds so..... one coming home for dinner!
Hey Link, glad we got to your truck in time. Glad to know you check your oil, but don't forget the rag next time
Oh, and Salty, thanks for the raffle contribution. I was a winner of two of your plugs!
