Myself, the son, Iknownutin (Scott) and his wife (Sylvia) left the Keaton ramp a little after 10:00. With low tide at 10:20 we figured the bite would be later in the day. We turned the corner at the end to some heavy fog, :x well this is gonna take some time before I was able to get on plane. After clearing the fog, the forecast looked as advertised, so we headed out to 50ish foot. Well not sure where these fish were hiding today cause I searched many a spot to find next to nothing. Maybe it was 58 degree water, fog, approaching cold front, who knows. Still got on the water with good company, just catchin was very little.

Amen.

Tough day, for sure. Don worked hard to put us on the fish, with not much to show for it other than a good time with good friends. Beats working any day. :wink:
