We took our first serious trip this morning. We waited for the tide to start before heading out. There was no breeze and a bit of haze and fog. We didn’t make it to the planned first stop before coming across several large schools of bass. We played for a while before returning to plan A. The next stop also found scattered fish a bit larger than the earlier ones. After an hour or so we moved off again to check our final spot. We found more fish bunched up in a couple areas. These guys were in the eight to twelve pound range. The tide slowed and we decided to call it a morning. On the way in we came across the still breaking fish from earlier so we were forced to stop. More bass on fly and spin gear. This time there were bluefish in the mix. The surprise was one that I landed that went about eight pounds. After that one and a few more bass we called it a great day. If you are thinking about a trip it doesn’t get any better than this.
