Hey Van, I should have chased you around yesterday. You had the magic. We took the stinky skunk. That's two trips in a row. I probably deserve it since I was getting a little bit cocky.

Thursday I snuck out kind of unexpectedly and had a frustrating day with fish all over my spots and on a couple flats, but they just would not eat.

Yesterday was just too windy to fish like I want and it was cold! I must be used to 90 degrees. Once I got wet, I was shiverin' out there. But we cruised around the harbor early lookin' for schoolies or blues up top, then hit structure. Not much happenin'... the half a spool of someone's line that got wrapped around my trolling motor didn't help. I couldn't even hold position against the wind and thought I must have not charged my battery. We ended up drifting with the wind and it was just too fast to fish effectively.

I took the prop off when I got home just cause I was sure I'd put a charge on the battery. Nice mess.

Not sure it would have helped much. The harbor seems a bit off. I lost one mid-20" schoolie at the boat. My brother-in-law dropped a bluefish as well. Other than that, a few chasers and light bumps. Not very aggressive.

Those are good fish you guys got... good job.

I want my bait back. These fish would eat a live one I'd bet.
