Didn't expect to see the huge swirls in the water when I turned the corner.At the time the moon was behind that long skinny bank of clouds.The activity seemed to coincide with the cloud cover.The tide was also very high and outgoing.
It was July 14th last year when I got a 24lber in the same spot on a blurple bomber.
Changing the factory hooks to VMCs is a damn fine idea.I never thought that the factory hooks might be the problem.Its not the 1st big'un I lost on a mambo.I've no desire to go anywhere near Newport today so I'll transplant from another plug temporarily.
Was able to land two borderline keepers lastnight.Still ended up losing a larger fish though.Overall though I'd say lastnight was a good night.The action was pretty steady from sundown on.By 10:30 that lightning was a little to close for comfort so we called it quits.
My G/F hung in there like a trooper I just wish she had been able to catch one lastnight.Its been quite sometime since she caught her first.
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
Change them hooks and you'll be on the war path!!!!!!!!!!!
