2-28 Reds & Wind
Posted: March 2nd, 2009, 11:48 am
Put in Saturday morning against my better judgement with a stiff 20mph+ wind blowing down the bay and 2 buddies with kitchen passes that were not letting them go to waste. So we put in and head east into a good 3' chop and the first thing to bounce out of the boat was one of my new rigs that might have had 5 trips on it so far. 
Luckily we were on top of a nice clear sandbar and we found the rod and reel after a short search and rescue mission. Back on track we turn broadside and the wind does the rest as we drift at nearly 10 knots, but the water was clear and it was a pretty day. The first fish came late but was a nice 28" pig at just over 8lbs. according to the boga scale.
Bo hooks up a few minutes later with a nice keeper.
Before he could get his to the boat I got another one to eat a spoon for a double hoook up!
We were back at the ramp and heading to Pepper's for some food and drinks by 1:00pm. It was a good day with good friends even though the wind was really blowing us around.
