Just got back from a fishing marathon....

[JohnR]

Just got back from a fishing marathon... - OK, maybe semi-marathon is more like it but I'm going to hit the rack, have some med tests - and go back out again...

Started out on the Mass So Shore last night to sling some eels for a few hours and wound up with Calcuttas-Slippus. A rare disease that happens to some Calcutta 400 reels that suffers from a disconnect between the handle turning the spool. Spent 45 minutes on the beach field stripping it but got it back going and fished what remained of the drop (not much) - no fish (but I wasn't there at the ideal time anyway) - hit the racj for an hour and met up with Got Stripers at 4:30 this morning. Had a great time fishing with Bob in some of the bassiest water in the Northeast (certainly inside of Cape Cod Bay) where he continued to outfish me almost 4-1... plus I broke off on a few fish. I did manage the biggest fish by a pound or two at around 22#s on an eel ;D and GS maintained his mastery of his plastics on some real nice DDoSummer type fish... I got something like 6 fish, most sub legal fatties and GS hit homers on many nice fish upto about 20 pounds... Great fishing those waters - great time out. The bite ended around 10 am but we stuck at for a few more hours to little show (well more GS than I as I'm trying to keep some gas in my tank for toight)

Again Bob, thanks for a nice trip out there today....

I'm going to bed now...
