Set out at 0700 with Joe Stalling his Friends Jane and Lenny for a shot at bass.......

Soon as we got to the tip of the NAvy bird birds were working on the Belford side from the Reach going inshore for about 1/4 mile.....thought this was it, lots of action and we were the only boat. WOW was I wrong.

Fish were feeding on Rain Fish, threw everything we had, hooked one on a Deadly Dick and one one a Popper......other than that, Nodda, box should have been filled with so much action.

Ran to the baack of the bay and set up, had a live line out and some lolly pops. Soon as I set out the third line Bam........Jane laned a nice 10 lb BLue......though again this was it.....nodda. Saw a couple more BLues landed and no Line siders.

Put one more 10 lb Blue in the box then switched locations Nodda. Gave a try at pulling wire, had great reads with tons of bait and fish markings....nothing.

The last hour or so we switched over to Fluke, landed some nice healthy Fat 17" Fluke that had to be thrown back............
