Well I could have been, but nobody was around this morning to hear me, not even BC who pulled a no-show (had last minute clients). Hope they had some good rain gear
. Man didn't it rain this morning, I've got to get me a new pair of boots, sneekers just don't cut it in a torrential downpour that lasts for hours.
Didn't catch a ton of fish, but the 15-20 I tangled with today were bigger than average and I caught them in shallow water which makes the fight a little sweeter. Put a couple mid teens and also a pair of mid 20's over the side for a quick digital weight before releasing.
Damn friggen blues, not even big ones little 5-8 lb rat bastards, were just driving me nuts. Every eel became a bluefish snack and I had a half dozen breakoffs on the plastic. I hate it when they come shallow and mix in with the bass, because you don't want to screw up the presentation with a wire leader, but if you don't you pay the price.
The skinny water fish (5-7 foot rocky shoreline) I got into at the end of the day, along with the surreal look of the ocean as the rain almost flattened it out as it came down in buckets, made for a very interesting end of the day. I wrestled with a 15 lber, that almost got me as wet as the storm, fought like a fish twice it's size.
