Big Heave last night

Some of the rollers that were rolling in last night were pretty unnerving. Did everyone else have to deal with the big heave. Lots of fish in it but dam near impossible to land anything large safely. Play it safe out there.

I was fishing a backwater eelgrass bed and it was dead calm flat.Lots of mosquitos and the humidity was brutal.The fish could've been a little more cooperative too.

If you check the NOAA website they regularly post swell warnings. I did before we left the dock yesterday Morning for the Elizabeths and sure enough just west of Robinson's they were rolling in.

Why even try.........
