We gambled with the weather forecast today - it was calling for winds up to 16-17mph and when I launched the  skies were ugly with storm clouds. I was meeting Douglas and Cindy Bailey and their son Dylan up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp and we had decided that we'd give it a go and hope for the best and I'm glad we did! After running...

A Keeper Slam!  I fished again this morning meeting Glenn and Patti Lanford up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp.

...but just a fish battle! I had met Jack and Karina Drinkard newlyweds down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning and after running up the Intercoastal and dipping in to Jackstaff we drifted with the last of an outgoing tide tossing jigs and live shrimp.

At 7:30 t his morning when Marty and Cathy Siciliano and I made it to our first spot - the bank of the Jolley River Marty pointed out the still visible  full-ish moon.
