It was a fun day!!! A bit slow to start but a VERY strong finish. We had somewhere around 25 fish total. Kept 8 from 23-28" (just the right size for the dinner plate).
I resisted taking boards with me on this trip so we were limited to boat rods. Pulled 7 with a mix of umbrellas and tandems. 1 white umb with chart backs caught 75% of the fish. We fished just outside of the fleet and were able to box 3 fish within the first 20-30 minutes. Then things slowed but it was a steady pick all day and ended in with a bang. Started in 45' and fished to 80'

Even jogged up what WOULD have been the 2nd biggest fish in the box if it wasn't already full. Headed back down there today (from Solomns) this morning before making the 90 mile run north to Tolchester.

It sure helps having a buddy boat or 2 out there with you. Marty and Mike and I were all a able to to make the trip a success thanks to teamwork. Hopefully Greg and I will have another great "December" day on the bay!
