Just missed the skunk tonight on the Bay. Had the same clients I took 10 days ago when we caught 8 and thought we were going to kill them tonight. I had a friend that limited out on Monday night in short order and that gave me that cocky (can't miss) attitude at the ramp when we met this afternoon.

Yup, "we may even be off the water before dark even gets here" I announced. Well, from 5:30pm to 9:45pm tonight, we never had a touch. And as far as I could see nobody else did either. Didn't see one net or anybody even standing up in the 3 different crowds of boats we trolled through.

I was about to give the boys a discount when the inside rods clicker snaped me out of my trance. This first fish was about a 4 pounder and number two was close behind. This second fish was 8 pounds or better. The one guy I took is a huge man, so the fish loses some visual points with him in the background. We ended up going 3 for 4 by 10:30pm, which was 3 better than I tought we were going to do.

Hey Capt. Dan, Was this the same group you had out when the liver & onion accident occurred? Maybe it was the chum in the water that attracted the 'eyes (ha-ha) Take care, Cheers, Bo

Nice fish! Goes to show you why it's called fishing, not catching!

Bo.

Nope, these were different guys. The guys I took on (the night of the scum line) may never come back. I'm also a little more careful about what I eat and when I eat it now as well.
