About 3 miles due east of Great Point Light we hit a migration of bass and I swear, in every direction, as far as I could see were busting fish and screaming herring gulls. We only had wire and jigs on board but after only 30 - 40 feet of wire it was a hook up with a good fish of 35 - 45 inches.
That was the last time I fished with my skipper. We had been together quite a long time before then. It was him and I and his landscaper, who now owns the boat. Captain Bob is now really struggling with health problems, nursing home and things.... He was much more than a boss or a captain, but a grandfather like figure to me.
That day was hands down the best day of fishing I have ever had, in many more ways than one.
