Awesome Morning

[Van]

Snuck out early this morning for a quick trip (lots of honey-dos on the list still hanging).....

Loaded up with bait within minutes and headed for a couple of spots.
Hit my first spot and must have had 20-30 slams over the next few hours. Picked up 8-10 fish most around 18-25 pounds. I took home these two a 28 pounder and a smaller 20 pounder for the grill and to give some to friends. All the rest released healthy.

At slack high the action slowed and small fish moved in along with all the fleet of weekenders, that kept cutting in front of me (like the fish are only under my boat !!!!) so I blasted home.....I was sitting on the couch watching college football by 1pm....

Man did I need a morning like this one.
Lots of stress at work lately, and hard to get time off to go fishing.
It was good "fish" mental therapy.

My guys took home 8 bass up to 30lbs and 4 blues , we released another 10 large bass and I lost count of the blues.

Guys, I was where all of you were Sat Am. Except I suck.
I got nothing. Not a sniff. When you roll up on all of the big charter guys and guys who look like they know what they are doing, as a boat newbie you need to stick around and try to watch and learn. I was watching but did not have the set up to snag the pogies....
Anyone care to share techneques with a new boat guy? I plan on getting out after work this week and would give my right arm not to get the skunk.

thanks in advance.

tried once back in may or june. you told me that the fish that were around were not big enough and that you targeted big fish.
went out with another capt. and got a bunch of dinks and one that maybe was 28.
