RI Jimmy and I - Early am success.

[parker23]

Had some pogies in a pen at the dock ready and waiting. Our 1st drift started at 4am. Almost instant action. Nervous water, splash, slash and Jim is on, good hook set and his rod doubles over. Jim slides the 1st fish over the rail at 4:05am. Nice mid teen bass.

I hook up on something pretty big and the run lasted 10 seconds and she was gone w/pogie in mouth. 2 pogies gone, 1 fish in the boat.
My turn, splash, swirl and a fast hit followed by a chomp, swallow and slowly swim away until I set up. She was mad, drag wripping through the guides and a few minutes later Fat Flow was in the boat. We both dropped a couple more fish and then we were out of pogies. Make the dreaded run for bait and return an hour or so later.

Jim hooks up again and lands a real pretty fish. High teens, Hook in jaw, quick photo and release (Jim's head had to be cropped to protect the innocent piece of shoreline).
