Fisherwomen, you weren't just whistling Dixie

Nice night, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&........Unfortunately, I did have the luck this weekend that others had, hit Duxbury Beach very early AM on Monday, a few guys fishing, little action, lots of skates AGAIN. Did miss one LARGE fish, pole bent over, thought it was a bird flying thru the line, saw the fish surface, its tail was about 5-6" across, but it never came back.. oh well.
