Early Season Smorgasbord

Well, with the impending nasty weather for today, I decided to take friday off and take a couple buddies out for a boat ride. We launched ~5am and were soon greeted with rolling bass and blues and working birds.

Here's my buddy Mike (Elmo) with a nice bass and Jeremy with a fly caught bass.

Next up was Mike catching this. And then we encountered more birds but tougher conditions as the day went on.

We ended the day with many bass with plenty of keepers in the 28-37" range, plenty of bluefish (big too) and a huge tog which hit my 7" FinS.

Nice job Mike!

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
