:thumbsup:Hey guys,

After a tough week with bad weather, we had Joe, Doug, Steve, Tom, and John aboard for a bass charter today aboard the ADAM BOMB III.

Despite a forecast of 5 to 10 knots southeast, we were greeted with a 10 to 15 knot southwest wind, which became more west during the flood tide. After some searching, we found some bass and Doug got us started with the first fish of the day on a bucktail. From there, we had a steady pick with a couple multiple hook-ups thrown in for good measure. The tide went slack, and while waiting for it to switch, we checked out another spot and found good life. Tons of marks on the machine, and we did get a couple to commit. Once the tide switched, we pulled a few more fish out of this area before we made way for the barn. By the time we were headed in, the wind was blowing a steady 15 to 20 and it had switched to southeast.

We had to work for them, but the guys did a great job of fishing hard and were rewarded with 14 bass for the morning, including a pair of keepers at 28.5" and 31", respectively. Not a bad day for mid December with a SUPER strong full moon tide, wind against tide conditions the entire time, and relatively dirty water. With the marks we saw on the machine, once the moon falls off it should be a MUGGING in progress!!! :thumbsup:

Hey Bob, one word pretty much describes it...WOW! :) Low to mid 30 cruise, 50+ on the top end. If it weren't for this darn southerly wind blowing, we'd be back on them today!

Tom, water temp was mid 40's. Thanks for the well wishes. They are sweet motors.

Hey Adam, what did you repower with?

Eric, I put twin Yamaha F250 four stroke motors on there. You'll have to take a trip and check them out! :)

Adam,
glad to see the ABIII is back up and running. Saw you in the rips on Sunday. It got real ugly once the tide turned, we had to sneak in thru the canal. Last couple of trips in the rips have not produced many keepers, but its alot of fun on light tackle.

Sounds like a plan!

Got that right, Tom. It was sporty on the ebb tide. There are some keepers around, and plenty of fun 'sifting' through the school fish. See ya soon.

nice catch capt and crew.

Zar, get ready for jumbo tog sequel...coming soon. :)
