Hit the ramp at daylight to find a SLICK bay in front of me :thumbup: proceeded to put the inshore poles in the rod locker and take out the offshore rigs :-D ran 15 miles to my spot close to buoy 26 and started trolling, nothin, put a fishbite and fake cigar minnow on a hook and drifted the spot, 2 sea bass and a shark later I decided I needed to troll out to a spot in 50 foot of water. 100 foot from the spot, both rigs go off :o grab the closest and start reeling "figuring the other will be lost, danged thang come off about halfway to the boat and the other pole is just slack :smt010 power up and the other pole goes off instantly, he was still on :smt007 after a decent fight, I had the first fish in the boat, a 26 incher and fat :-D set the poles back out and trolled back trough the same spot, a 23 incher goes in the box, have numerous hits after that, but only 3 shorts ta show for em. Still a nice mess of fish for a glorified jon boat :smt025 Talked to pothole from the FS forum and they wasn't doin much neither and had someone else call me but couldn't raise em back :oops:

Thought it was you but I guess I'm just not getting out that far, I was about 20 or so miles from the lighthouse :smt012

I'm surprised you heard me at all. I was sitting at the last channel marker in front of Shell Point. :o
