Default GSpot first salt launch

Well boys, took the newly broken in Yammie for its first salt water bath. She did swell. Rides very dry for an aluminum boat, very impressed. She is no V though :'( So some of my favorite places to drift for the flatties are off limits, too much big boat traffic and too big swells for such a low transom to be safe. Will be good on weekday trips in calmer winds though.
Hit some closer locations but still a little two windy and very choppy most of the time made it tough to get the good drifts needed but I took my oldest boy out, he's home from Penn State for a few days.
We managed to get about a dozen fluke, all just under the minimum at around 15-16 inches. But we landed four nice keepers 18-20 that will make a sweet meal tonight for everyone. Lost one doormat right at the boat that looked to be around 24 inches. He had the bait but no hook and just would not let go :o Almost netted him but he just opened his mouth and swam away.
I'm not sure I may need to reprop, I got max 5100 rpm at 26 knots but it was a little choppy early in the day when I tried and there was no way to do it later with the winds.
