The last week of June into the first week of July, I worked my way out to Race PT by way of the canal. I managed to jig up a few decent fish. When the tide turned an eddy set up and I noticed a fish come floating by me belly up. He looked short and I thought it was a tough release. Well, he got stuck in the eddy and as It swirled by, I saw there was still a bit of life in the fish. The next pass, I noticed a large tail sticking out of it's mouth. Eventually, they came close enough to me so I could grab them. After a quick surgery, they both swam away slightly scathed.

I made it out to Race Point the next day. As many know that was where the majority of fish were being targeted during the beginning of commercial season. I thought I was going to sleigh them in the kayak. Well, when I got there, I found out they had moved on. Word spread, and by Monday, it was a ghost town on the outer Cape as far as fish and fisherman. Tuesday, they opened up a bit more beach. When I headed over the dune, in the afternoon, I was pleased to see acres of nice bass blitzing on top totally unmolested accept for one boat. I was granted one hour by the wife and the baby, and had them literally bouncing off of the yak. The next morning they even came into shore. It was like the good ole days. Fish blitzin in the wash. The nice thing was it was only me and two other guys. Oh yeah, no seals.

I got a pass to go out to the canal two out of the last three days. I didn't get any fish, but got to see Rick Hern pull out a top water 30#. I also got some good tips (thanks Rick!) and got to see Milo to boot. I wish I got a few pics but I didn't. Well, I have a few more trips planned out to the salt before the Fall roles around. Till then I am going to play with these LMB that are behind my house. If you have a chance, do a search on the Chuck Woolery Moto Chug (I'm not kidding) and fish them at night. I hope you enjoyed.

Nice fishing. However, fatherhood has done nothing for your looks. I really question your poor wife's taste in men......

Love ya Mikey!

So we are fishing next to each other in the predawn , can't see much besides a red bandana but I can tell this guy is a character. He is the first one to offer his name and when I ask if he is online, he says "Yeah, I'm RappinMikey" No (&^^&* way! Great to finally meet up with you Mike and thanks for your patience while that fish kicked my A$$!!
