Krispy you stud

my most memorable night fishing was with redlite on a full moon back in september. i just had ACL surgery and was a little leary of deep wading an area i wasn't familiar with but Mike convinced me that it would be ok. we get to the spot and mike's like, "that's where we're going." i'm thinking you gotta be kidding me, we're basically wading to an offshore island, at least 50 yards from shore, with waves breaking over it. about half way out Mike says, "this is gonna be a little hairy, i've never been out here when its been this deep before." WTF? well we made it out there safely, but it was an adventure. we didn't catch anything so we made a little drive to a different spot. another nice little walk, but only knee deep on the way out. canalman was out there and had already released a decent fish. we cast for a while until mike finally landed a nice fish about 33 lbs. he and canalman took off and i decided to stick it out to get a feel for the area. managed one low 20lb fish then called it a night. the next night mike went out there on the same tide and almost drowned
it was fun fishing a new area....

Hairy is right

My most memorable nigh this year... well there are 2...

1st was in August when F18 and I hooked the same shark 5 times... it nearly spooled me twice, the second time, I was prepared to let her take all my line (last eel) if she wanted it but she sulked in the current for a while... my rod bent into the foregrip, everytime I gained she took it right back and then the line finally gave up. about 4ft of the leader was completely sanded... pretty cool.

Then there was the 2 night stretch when I expected to catch good fish and I did, there were big fish at cutty and 2 days of the right wind brough them to my shore. 1st night 3 fish from 30-36 pounds lost 2 other good fish... second night 1 fish but it was my personal best. Had quite a few memorable nights this fall after what I would call an awful summer. I think next year we'll see some huge fish caught... quite a few fish caught this year on the cusp of the 50# mark... BackBeach had a 47# Goose had a 47#, The guys at Cutty had several 40's the second to last week of sep with the largest going 48#... 2007's looking good.... now if I can just be right
