[Ol Pedro]

Woke up @ 5:00 to Rain . Grandson descided to not go at 5:01 . Went ahead and loaded up and drove on down the hill to the dock . I was suprised to see the lot 1/4 full ! Went to put my stuff on the boat and discovered that I had left my jig bucket at home . We headed out to wet conditions and a bumpy sea . About 2/3rd's up the line we saw life close in . Bunker with fish under them . in the first few drifts we had a couple of large Bass and some Bluefish on jigs . We started to snag a few Bunker and I swithed to live lining . After missing one fish I changed to a treble hook and 1 oz egg . I ran an almost dead bunker out and was greeted by a freight train runoff . I counted to five and locked up my Jigmaster Jr and almost got spooled on the first run . A few minutes later Todd gaffed a 20-25 lb fish for me . I hooked and handed off the rest of the trip . It's funny how you forget the rain and wind when you are catching . We picked at them the rest of the day . We tried to help people fish Bunker but way too many fish were missed due to reels being locked up/not realizing they were bit . We finished with between 13 and 16 big bass and at least 10 Bluefish .We caught them as well on Crocs as Bunker . Capt. Mike , Todd, Al , Chris , and Tommy did their best in less than ideal conditions to put a catch together . All the kids on the trip got one Big Bass .
