Default FishBones hits the Bay

Had mechanic look at the Evinrude, would not idle below 1200 rpm. He made adjustments but on the hose, he said it may not idle under load and if not I need a carb rebuild. He told me to try and blow it out on the water.
I did as told and took a half bushel of clams with me.

Well the carbs are going to get rebuilt next week, but there were stripers to be had, had non stop action for two hours on the hook near the Coast Guard station. At least 6 just under 28", and two keeps at 32 and 30 inches. Three monster run offs and one good size girl lost right at the boat.
Left my camera home but got this shot just before cleaning time.

Glad Fishbones is finally in the water. Sorry about the carb rebuild, but at least you know what the problem is. Nice looking fish. Were you fishing false hook channel also or just in front of the CG station? I like to troll near the tin can grounds also.
