went out with my fishing bud, Jeff, on his sweet Maycraft 2550 for the last run on the fluke before the season closes this coming week.

The fluke have moved out into deeper water, 65-80 feet a few miles out. At least the keeper ones have(over 18 inches) you can have your fill of 15-17 inchers all day long inshore.
Had a strong wind out of the south which made it very difficult in the deep. Showed Jeff how to power drift stern to to hold bottom and it worked sweet for him with me at the helm. He pulled in a sweet 6lber and we both got into a bunch of keeprs and a boat load of sea bass, only three of them were keeper size though.
A good day, cigar warm water and air and fish all day.
I was glad for the warm water (72) as Jeff manged to pick up someones cut off power pro in his prop, I donned a life jacket and tied up and went in and spent about fifteen minutes bobbing and weaving trying to avoid the hull and outdrive crushing me in the four foot swells to get it all out.
He owes me a big one there.
