Just got the X135 moved up front by the TM, now all there is to do is keep reading manuals and wait for the wind to lay!

Well, another day of trying to see how much punishment I can take with this fishing thing \:D JV4 and I decided to fish Hubbard this morning \:D First thing was first…..”Lets don’t start to early \:D “ ….. I hate sitting at the house and waiting to go fishing \:D On the water at 9:00am and man was it foggy…. Thanks to the brilliant minds that invented GPS \:D One little hint, nor reason to start at 9:00am. We had 13 fish on the clicker by 12:30pm. We made a decision to go eat some lunch so we pulled the boat up to the docks at the boardwalk and went and ate at Dodies Cajun restaurant. Man was it good. After lunch we went back out and got a good 1 ½ hour break from the cold and fog. Found fish scattered around with some bird action. There were more birds and fish on the graph then on our hooks. The water was 46 degrees and it was tough to get them to bite. Dead sticking bass assassins was NOT the trick today. We caught a few like that but not many. TNT slabs worked most of the day though, I was also using a ½ jig with a curly tail body and ended up doing fairly well with it. We were going to leave and Sea Pro Todd called and had birds working out from the jetties. We hauled arse over there and caught a few nice hybrids and big sandies \:D Today was TFF day out there \:D To many people to name, if you want to shout out go ahead \:D I forgot to mention, while JV4 and I were working all day to find fish, our good friend Ruben was in a nice warm house \:D He called a couple of times and got a fishing report and waited till we got into them for us to pick him up at the dock \:D \:D So Ruben got to catch fish today, but he was the smart one \:D All fish caught on TNT slabs, grubs, Bass As. Water was 44-47 degrees and winds were 0-12 mph. All fish were in 28-32 ft water. We did not get off the wateer till 5:30pm with 16 hybrids and 50 sandies caught and released. On a closing note, While were where catching fish at the end, there was this huge cruiser trolling \:D There were 12 or so boats all in a circle, you know how it looks when people are catching fish. Anyways, I looked at JV4 and Ruben and said “ SURLEY THIS GUY IS NOT GOING TO TROLL IN BETWEEN ALL OF US RIGHT? “ ….HE DID….I mean he was not 5 ft away from us, with other boats on the other side of him. This guy was a moron, I am sorry to say it but he was. We had to use our trolling motor to get out of his way, he was big \:D

Hey John we saw you guys down at the Jetty--wondered if the birds were working? Could not tell looking thru the glasses but Jimmy found us a spot on down south and we ended the day catching two dozen hybrids and alot of big sandies. Had a new fishing buddy of Jimmy out and he caught more then me on his second trip out :hammer It took me a hour before I landed my first Hybrid! Here are some more picks-- JimmyWe needed some fresh fish for dinner so we keep 4 hybrids and some big sandies last pic is kind of fuzzy but shows alot of fish
Most hybrids were right at 18" and a few unders but I did have a 21" and a 20" and Cal had a few big 20+ fish also. Was a great day to be out
