The blues have completely taken over. Nothing like last week where it was much more bass than blues. Tough to get our lines wet without a chopper picking it up. Fished the morning and managed 6 bass to 38”. Dozens and dozens of blues to 34” – my arms are tired! 3-4” sandeels everywhere.

Also had this close encounter with a basking (?) shark. She swam right at us and nearly hit us with her tail when she turned. She didn’t seem spooked by the engines and even let us follow her for about a mile (trying without luck to get a good picture). Same one that was seen on the flats last week? I have a 20' boat, and it was nearly as big as the boat. Harmless maybe, but still a little scary to be that close to something that big.

Nice day on the water though – we didn’t see any of that rain that was in the forecast and it was pretty calm. We’ll hit it again tomorrow and see if we can get one of those cows we saw last week. Anyone else having any luck?

More of the same on Sunday.... fished some of the usual spots, but with the strong winds, didn't get a chance to check out some new ones. Fishing the AM, got 7 bass in the boat and missed a couple of big ones that broke off. All between 30 to 37". All fish were strong, fat and healthy. There was probably only 1/2 hour when the wind was changing directions where it was nice and not so rough. Matching the bait seemed to work the best. Fish were all over the water column, as was the bait. We'll try it again in a couple of weeks...

Bobdobolina, Mr. Bob Dobolina? Any relation to M. Dolenz?

What's the mirror at the bottom of the first pic? Have you go an amphibious car?

I have a jetboat that I've converted into a fishing boat. Great for the flats... plus it gets me to my spots at 50-55 MPH (when it's not too rough). The mirror is a side mirror next to the driver's seat.

ACE - sorry, don't know a M. Dolenz, but you've got the right song!
