Boy oh boy, if only 1 out of every 20 bass we marked during this trip bit we would have done incredibly well.  Unfortunately the bass had a serious case of lock jaw.  We had to work extremely hard for a few bass up to 28 pounds.

I always find it amazing how you can drag a perfectly presented offering right through a school of 10 – 100 bass without even a sniff.  Nevertheless this phenomena happens around the Cape each and every summer.

Fortunately we did land some nice healthy fish, and I’d like to thank John C. for putting in a great effort.

Even though it’s only 12:15pm I am heading to bed.  Been up for almost 24 hours!  Hopefully the bass bite better this evening.

I’m also hoping that the wind backs off a bite and the T-storms move away.  Unfortunately I have a feeling that wind and T-storms are in my future.  This morning we narrowly missed getting stuck in a serious electrical storm.

Nevertheless we found a bunch of nice fish during this trip and I am eager to get back on them.

Good luck and catch ‘em up!
