[Stinkbait]

I went out with the normal crew. Me, myself, and I went to go get 'em. I had promised a friend a pair of 'em. She has family coming in Sat. a.m..

I has been National f' with Jimbo week. The Rockfish were clued into this too.

Long story short...got a 17 and one 1/2 longer in 50' near 84A. Winds kicked up good outta the SW....headed towards the 85A. Boated 7 more fish, had a hit-anda-miss, and lost one while trying to steer the boat. No auto-pilot sux.

I had 4 boat rods, I couldn't re-do the spread after it was set. I had 2'ers slamming me broadside.

The hit-and a miss came off a Storm-brella. ALL the other hits, and fish came off a tandem rigged white bucktail umbrella with twister tails, 20 oz. at 5 bars. The other 2 rods were untouched.

I guess, not bad being solo for 3 hours. Not skunked, but no 18"s.

Tight lines,
Jim
