Fished in a little club tourney out of Onancock VA on Sunday. Weather man said N winds, 5-10, seas 1-2'. Forcast was for clear skys. I left home thinking the weather man was right on. Their was no wind and it was nice out. When I arrived to the launch ramp, I was having second thoughts. It was windy, cloudy, and cold. I weighed my options and the fact that I held the highly regarded "Kitchen Pass", I decided to go for it. Too rough to jig so trolling it was. I did have second thoughts when a 25' Parker Sport Cabin quit cause it was too rough.

Long story short, I trolled up 12 rock from 25" to 34". The winning fish was 44". It was cold, cloudy, and rough all day long.

Fish were measured for lenght but not weighed. I'd guess 38*, maybe 42# tops. Wife and kids going to inlaws for a few days and I do intend to hang a few slobs eelin at night. :)
