Me & fishin partner left marina @07:00 with squid,mackerel & span sardines in the cooler stopped on the flats caught a few pins for the livewell 
then off we go into very choppy/rough 2-3' 
with a 4' now & then just to make sure you were paying attention.Get to destination in 39' bottom looks good marking fish mostly baitfish.Catch a couple of pinkmouth, 4' tiger shark. Next stop 42' get 14" black sea bass,2 18" triggers couple more grunts & 1or2 squirrel fish at most stops. Same story every stop 43' 45' 50' 55' we had a pin under ct behind the boat that never got hit also pins & squirrelfish never got hit on the bottom did not catch a grouper at all not even a short.Everthing caught was on squid or mackerel. Water temp 82-83,Oh yeah the seas calmed down to very nice 1-2' about lunch time to almost calm later.Start seeing a storm building on the xm between keaton,steinhatchee & hwy 19 so we head in with
2-triggers
8-nice pm
1-black bass
1-jolthead
Get to marina 16:00 plenty of time to get home clean boat,fish etc. take a nap before going to work @23:30 storm moving southeast away from us
Now my truck won't run/cranks but won't stay running.Cell phone no good down there, go in marina call friend in perry to come get me(17:00) haul me home to get my other truck haul azz back to keaton(18:30) to retrieve GIT-R-WET & brother n law planning on leaving the won't crank overnight. While enroute call my mechanic friend that is getting off work 17:30 says he'll meet me down there 18:45 found corrosion in the computer connection,caused the security to over ride everthing is why it would not stay running Truck running again 19:20 start home get to hwy 19 other truck decides it don't like GIT-R-WET & tries to run hot
