My dad flew in from PA on thursday and we fished friday, sat evening and monday. We decided to just go out and have fun and we just fished light tackle and chased blitzes. Not that bait and big fish isn't fun, but each time we had to decide whether to pick up eels or try to grab some bait, we said the heck with it. I spent about 20 minutes jigging around some docks, that was it.

It was an amazing 3 days and we put more fish in the boat than I got all year. Not much size though. Out of around 220 bass, just 7 keepers. Kinda low. In my past experiences, even when chasing schoolies, you still get keepers at a 1/5 to a 1/10 clip. My dad did get his best fish to date with a healthy 35"er.

But it was just great... the weather was perfect, fish everywhere.

Add 50-60 blues, many in the 7-9# range, and we had a blast. My hands and shoulder are a mess, but this weekend made my year and to be able to share that with my dad, was very cool.
