Beaufort inlet

At dawn it was like glass until about noon when it turned to slop with 4 foot quartering seas at a solid 20 knots. I Hit a small pod of bonito ( birds gave them away) and picked up 4 on a Kastmaster that ran around 3 lbs or so but nothing trolling except a couple of large albies. Ran over to the newport haystacks and caught 7 puppy drum including a 25 incher. I talked to one of the area guides who says he caught a huge hammerhead at AR 315 on a live eel earlier in the day that was probably 7 feel or so and it broke off next to the boat. I think about these things when I see kids waist deep wade the shorlines at night gigging flounder in the summertime dragging a bloody stringer of fish hooked to their belts...Frank
