Joe, his sons Schyler and Spencer, along with their friends, Andy and Caleb hopped onboard at Shoreline Park at 0630. A quick stop at the bait boat, and we were at the Massachusets and fishing in no time. Although the conditions could have been better, it was a little bumpy, Spencer still scored first with a nice Spanish Mackerel.


The bite was slow, we caught a Remora, and put a few miles on our baits. Then it happened... one of the rods began dumping line...a lot of line. Andy stepped up to do battle, and he was doing a great job. We were gaining our line back and everything was good.
One of the boys piped up with "Hey, LOOK, there's a Dolphin!!!"
Immediately I begin my no,no,no,no, chant...(I have a pretty good idea of what's coming)
Andy goes,"Hey, he stopped fighting."
I'll bet he did...we just made one dolphins day.
This is what we came up with.


The sea conditions were deteriorating and the dolphins were everywhere, we decided to take it into the Pass and try to find the Redfish. These boys had the touch for this, doubling up on the first drop. The pictures speak for themselves.




The last bite of the day, a shared catch by Schyler and Andy, turned out not to be a fish at all...



What an awesome morning! These guys were so easy to fish with (and a lot of fun to mess with) thanks again, I'm looking forward to next time.
