First Island Caught 50 Of The Season

No, dammit, it wasn't mine....

My friend Kevin Kendrick from Edwards Fishing Tackle called me yesterday morning to tell me that the first local 50 of 2009 from was weighed in at the shop yesterday morning - it weighed in at 50.3 lbs....

The timing is perfect - my brother-in-law is flying in Saturday with his lady to celebrate his 50th birthday.

Last year he caught his first bass after years of bluefish, a fat 35 during a trip with Capt. Corey from the SWE - on a topwater plug mid-morning

This year he's gonna get a graduate course in surfcasting - he bought waders and Korkers from Cabela's and I'm supplying the gear and eels.

If he outfishes me this year and catches a fish to match his age, one thing is clear - I'm never taking that damned kid fishing with me again....

So get out there and fish like you mean it if you haven't yet - I'm gonna be standing on a rock in about an hour with a plug in the water...

Party on, dudes...

"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.
