The itch needed to be scratch so I went out last night in Pee soup fog. :-/ Were by boat is there is a path between the reef about the size of a drive way and with all the fog and the high tide; it was pretty close to a short trip ::). Followed my bread crumbs out to the spot and once I was there it took what felt like 20 mins. And 3 or 4 anchor drops to be some what were I wanted to be. With out my land markers I line up with and my bearings completely out of wack with the two feet of visibility it was very hard/stressful to say the least. We were out for about 45 min with nothing, and the SSW started to pick up as well as the white caps on top of the 2/3ft rollers, no fun. Then my buddy caught a blue, fish in the boat (soon to be fish in the lobster trap) about another 20/30 min of rocking and rolling followed by the occasional bilge turning on and the 1st striper was landed, finally!
Best of all I had a camera on the boat so I could get some fish/boat pic combos!
Not the trophys i was looking for, but still decent/fun fish
here are two of my 3

The trio, ready for ice and off to the restraunts today ;D
