wrapped up 20012 friday night..

[Rockfish9]

Friday night was as good as it gets in October.. especialy north of Cape cod.. light wind, warm temps and lots of fish... no real monsters, 20lbs being the ceiling... but a fish of 8-10lbs on virtualy every cast until the tendonitis in my elbow refused to let me take another one... my hands look like hamburger.. but it was a great way to end a great season...my only regret was I fished it alone.. .. Night shift was following the lure of the woodlands.. he would have loved to be there.....The boat has to be off the dock the 15th... the weather forecast does not favor what I'd like to do.. and topping that night aint likely to happen this far north this late in the season.. I'm still rehabbing that MCL injury from last winter.. walking on rocks or long trecks in the sand are not viable... so I'm bidding fishing season 2012 a fond adue!

I have 1/3 of a 5 gallon keeper full of eels... I'll be releasing them tonight unless someone wants to come get them in Salisbury...

here's a few "high light " pictures from the season..
