Marty,
First, thanks to you, Lou, Phil, and John...What a great time...You guys are the best and I have to say I am lucky to get to fish with guys who are great fisherman as well as great guys...
Second, thank goodness Lou can keep a fish on the line cause we all know I cant...
Third, it was a good trip south of the bridge...Bigger fish seemed to stay in the 30 to 35 foot range, smaller (and plenty of them, were holding in 20 foot or less)...Captain John's spreader bars did a really good job again...Got us some nice stripers (pic attached) and one spanish (wish it was more, pic attached)...As I said, great day with a great crew, thanks to John for taking us out...
Fourth, believe it or not I put a little butter on it, some olive oil and lemon juice, and grilled it when I got home...It was delicious...Always great to taste a new fish, especially when it was fresh, and my first one !
Was out again last night....tried 7' knoll again just to see if I got really lucky the other night (lots of birds, non stop for my youngest son and I, might be able to see some of the birds in the pic), worked the eastern edge of the channel a little, then ended up back in the shallows...Did not see any breaking fish or birds as I was hoping and not much bait on the Lowrance, maybe that little bit of rain held things down for a day or two...Still got about 10 nice fish...Smaller 16 to 18 size but fun as heck on light tackle...
Hopefully I will get out to tomorrow since the weatherman got it wrong, once again, today...
