[5th Tuition]

First; things have been going great. We did have one windy, cloudy, low pressure day (Mon) where fishing was difficult in the morning (sun came out in the afternoon) and we wound up a fish short of our limit. One of the guests was seasick and we had 5 in the box; but he said he had enough and didn't need to stay out to catch his fish. Soooo, we came back short of our limit.

Today, we tried a little further south (Ches Beach) and had a great day with 11 fish caught. We had our 6 by 9:45 am. I was getting concerned (with only two in the box), but we had two rods go down in about 80 ft of water. We made another sweep through the same place and had another double hookup. The last two came in short order (but one at a time).

We had another lunch trip, so we left some lines in the water while Capt John prepared another one of his crabcake platters. Today, he added a pork shank to the meal. First time I ever had that cut of meat. It was like a chicken drumstick only pork. Tasted goooood.

We boated 11 before heading back to Deale.

Tomorrow should be interesting (rain and wind in the morning). I hope everyone is doing well. Stay dry, see you on the water.

p.s. Light lines are doing best. Singles and tandems 5 bars off the boards. My light umbrella's are catching as well. I run 2 with no weight, and one with 6 oz and another with 8 oz; and they are doing well also. My deep umbrella's (16 and 20 oz's are not catching. They are there just as precaution.
