Headed out on the Turkey day ritual fishing with Mike, Matt and Jim........Bay was like glass and a light fog. Rounded the hook into some swells but nothing major.

Checked out between the channels and nothing happening. Moved off shore into 70-80 ft of water and started picking at Jumbo Blues to 16 lbs and a few bass.

In a matter of seconds Schoolie Blue Fin were busting around the boat, Mike hooked one on an AVA 27 plain........it only took a few seconds and the reel was spooled.......had nothing on the boat heavy enough for the job. Played with the Blues and Bass while watching the Blue Fin and two pods of Dolphin feeding in the area....great day indeed.

Bite died down and we moved inshore to around 40-35 feet of water found Bass stacked from the bottom up 20 feet.

In short order we had 12 in the box up to 33" (including Bonous Fish), released another 25 or so, along with several more Jumbo Blues.

Tons of laughs, great fishing and a wonderful display by nature. Does not get any better than that.

Headed back in, cleaned the fish and boat, tosted the day and then went for Turkey Dinner. Day was a 10 out of 10.

Sorry no pic's, daughter took camera to Homecoming Football game as hers was broke
