Frustration

Sunday Dr Jeff came back to finish out his season. It was a bit breezy and the fish weren’t interested in flies so we switched over to Albie Snax. The bass liked them as well as a 10 lb. Bluefish. We finished up with a scrappy Albie to get the trifecta.

Monday Dr. Jon came from California to hunt for the elusive Albie. Still the wind was blowing and we found a bit of a lee and caught a couple of Atlantic Mackerel. A first for him. We found some bass in close and as we got closer the sound of the motor changed. I didn’t like it and decided to call it a day and make our way back to the dock. We pulled the boat and hauled it to our mechanic in Rhode Island. A compression test proved our fear that we had a dead cylinder. That was a kiss of death for this season. We will be sending the power head down to Florida after the first of the year for a complete rebuild. We should be back in action by the beginning of May. Have a safe winter and we hope to see you in the spring.
