Had Shawn with buddy Ed, and client Barry Beck. Due to commitments by the charter we had to do an AM charter. Knew we would have limited shots and we had to make them count. Got our bait with no problem, and headed to the grounds, started in the deep due to the high sun, had 3 good run-offs and a couple of surface explosions but no fish. Finally hooked a fish solid and fought him all the way to the boat when the hook pulled, damn. Bites never came again. Decided to go inshore and chunk, wind against tide crushed that thought. Went south and started another drift 2 more runoffs no fish. Decided to cut my losses and finished the day bottom fishing a slow pick of sea bass and ling. Really wanted to produce for a good bunch of guys, that come out every year.
