Been out of town for 2 weeks, work keeping me busy. Got back Saturday afternoon and saw the little weather window for Sunday. Figured the time is about right to soak some eels. Slept in some and left at 9 am with my neighbor Dave and Wes Blow and headed over to Old Plantation Light. Bay was still a bit bumpy from the Saturday blow but not bad.
Put a spread of eels out trying to cover the water column. Drift was minimal even at max outgoing only managed 1.1 knots. Not many bait marks, few birds diving, and even fewer fish marks. Had a few pulls that didn't come tight and finally Dave gets a 42 incher to the boat. Nice fish, had a a couple of sores but overall looked good so in the box he went. No other pulls the rest of the day and from the radio traffic, things seemed slow everywhere so we pulled lines at 3 pm and head to the barn. Turns out for Dave a 42 incher was his personal best so he was happy has a clam to bring him in.
Hopefully things will only get better from here.
