I finally got a day off to fish the Bay with a couple of buds. We caught a couple 38"-39.5" (20+ pounds). Nothing huge but definitly better than the 20" fish wev'e been catching in the rivers. We fish the James River Bridge at night when we need a quick fix or if the Bay is blown out. I'll see about posting some pics when my buddy sends them to me.

Before you ask, we were not fishing my V-20, it was his 24ft Sportscraft.

ok, the gloves are off....remember the fluke trip off Gardners Island....the TinMan was shutting me out like 7 to 0...I need remind you of those 7 only one was legal, then in the bottom of the 9th phester starts hookin' up big time. Now lets see, it was about a 6 1/2er, then a 5lb. and then a 3 1/2 or 4lb.You even filleted them for me too, you're a good sport TM
