Originally had a full day charter booked with two Dad's and their son's. They were a little worried about the conditions as it was their first time in the ocean. Put that trip off until next Sunday.

Got a call from Mike D. and his buddy's Marty and Jim asking if I was free in the afternoon to do some jigging.

Told the boys to come on down, met them at the boat around 11:30 A, loaded up and away we went.

Had birds working in the bay as soon as we broke out of the river, jigged short bass and Blues, after about 30 minutes headed outside, action all over the place. Filled the box with BLues to 12 lbs, two keeper Bass 29"and 30" and dozens of short bass in the 24-27" range.

Jigging was done with AVA 47, Crippled Hering and Deadly Dicks.......

A beautiful day to be on the water, bright sun, good seas, crisp air and some great guys on the boat
