July 5- only one keeper

[mark1234]

After being turned away at the gate at Sandy Point on July 4th. I decided to get an earlier start on sunday. Got into the park and launched by 7:30. Headed south of the bridge and was able to scratch out 8 spot in a little over an hour. Ran north to catch the tide and put the first spot out on a float. Got hit pretty quick and a good size over into the net. Somehow I turned around to look into the back of the boat and out he jumped out. Next spot yielded a 30" that I was careful to make sure was in the net when I hoisted it up and in. Caught a couple more overs that were released, and lost 2 boatside. One fish stole a spot without getting hooked. I had one spot left to catch an under. He got picked up but the float got tangled and the rock dropped him. Being the last spot, I put him back over. He got hit and took off. Fought the fish within eyesight and the rock "threw" the fish back at me, with the hook embedded in the spot. After two catches with the same spot, I figured he had enough. Where are the unders, when you want them?
