Geez, John, sorry to hear you had to work up a sweat on that fish  - seriously
Damn, I've been skunked before but I think that's the first time I've ever been racooned

Crafty- hit across the end of that road like we discussed earlier. Wound up getting 3 4 pound bluefish on ONE spook. Didn't know WTH I had going on because at one point I saw stripes come out of the water, then I get close in and one blue comes unglued, so I only have two on, get the next one gone but the last one will need some whiskey on the gums for a few days...
Bluefish = Rats with Fins

Two bass just after dark on Slug-go, not far from home.
The waves were incredible. A set of three waves came and washed over the rock I was standing on. I moved before the waves arrived, the odd thing is... these waves had no buisness being that big. Over another two hours, I never saw another set like'em.
I'm not sure if I fear or respect the ocean... probably both.

Duuuuuuuude.....nice one, Eben
This will go well with the Habmeister - I dunno, Eben, this could also make you Hab's Angler of the Year so far....
With sandeels back in numbers - even in Newport, which we haven't seen since probably the late 70's - it looks like Habs rules.
It must be good to be the King, Habs
