I great morning out on the Finishing Touch with Skip (Nick on the Barn) aboard. Started out at Prissy with a short on the first drift. Had a bunch of crazy boats running up and down the rip. Said to Skip we are out of here and moved to an area were we were the only boat around. On the first 4 drifts we had double hook-ups and fish on every drift after that. Total was 15 for the morning with 12 coming over the side. Put 5 in the box and let the others go for another day. All fish were in good shape for the release. Allot of fish released in the 31" to 33" range. A great morning with allot of action. We were back in the slip at 12:35 eating lunch and having cocktails. All fish but one on eels, largest going 38 1/2 inches.

Skip was high hook today with 8 of the 12, and the largest.

Skip may add some pics later.
