I went out there this morning :roll: it was not REAL bad untill around 9 "about the time I started trolling my spot", I hooked one nice one and started fighting him to the boat, but it's hard to fight a big fish and hold on for dear life at the same time :o after I lost him I started for the hill, 10 miles and 2 hours later I was back at the mouth of the river :oops: tried a few holes around the Bay for a Trout or Red and finnaly said ta heck with it "there was not a dry spot on the boat nor myself" :( Still beat being at work though :thumbup:

PS: The water temp in 43 foot is around 55, 51 in the bay. The seas offshore where running 1 to 2 foot with a 3 footer becoming more constant when I came in, also VERY CHOPPY :thumbdown: I coulda stayed out there with a high sided boat :thumbup:

I share your pain. Like you said, though, still better than being at work.
