Back in the Groove
My fall season always starts the day after Labor Day. So, in yesterday's nasty weather I headed down to the ocean determined to find some fish. I found few fishermen around, but found decent numbers of big bass after dark. I landed two keeper bass of 34-40 inches (see pics on left and right). I also had good action as I had a number of hits and had at least six other big fish on. It was difficult to hold onto them in the charged up water and very rough conditions that I encountered. So, contrary to the poor fishing that I had been experiencing, this was a very good night. Let the fall games begin!
