Just got back in....

[JohnR]

Edna, it kept getting smaller (the fish - come on people!!!). The more I looked at it I realised that I was overguestimating the size. And when I was carrting it back to the car, I KNEW it would be tough to push 30 pounds... and it didn't - sigh. It looked bigger than this last night, eh??? Maybe someone swapped fish on me??



The fish had big shoulders but a skinny butt & tail. She must have been pumping steroids because if she was any traditional striped gal - she woulda had a fat, uhh, butt...

Still had fun though. It was nice to get to sleep by midnight after a night in the surf... How did you guys do after I left?

GS - you're a magnet to rocks!!

It was a nice day up until the rock wall I drifted up on, which then proceeded to shear off my forward transducer mounted on my trolling motor

How the heck did you "drift upon" a ROCK WALL?? Did it like creep up to you and smack the tranducer when you weren't looking?? OK - I'm only busting your stones but I've seen how you work an area tightly and you marine parts store is all the better because of it BTW - how did the Schoolie Girl do? Did Mary get any fish? and yes, those shad can be a lot of fun on light tackle...
