Fisherman

Kevin, Scott, Joe, Adam and I launched predawn from Wallaces and headed off Back River. Lines in by 6. Good spot. Penn 320s and Shimano TLD 15 on heavy rods. Live eels, peelers, and croaker as bait rigged on 8/0 circle and Js. One bait on bottom, one on top under a float, and one in short on M/H baitcaster for the sightcast. Nothing. Saw one nice fish caught by boater near us. SE came up and ended the trip early. On the way home Scott's Tarpon 12 took on water through the center hatch, filled, and flipped in the mouth of Back River. Bad Design. Luckily, SeaTow was nearby and offered assist. Once again proving that a good fishing trip is defined as getting back to the dock alive.
