Up and out early yesterday to hit the salt with an old fishing buddy. Got out just after day break and it looked promising, then the wind kicked up (not in the forecast) and blew us off the water. Tried looking for fish up in protected areas but the tide wasn't right. So came in early. This morning, got reports that the wind died down about noon, and fishing improved. They say timing is everything...

We didn't get skunked. Buddy caught an way undersized striped bass in shallow water off a protected salt marsh.

Good to get out even if it was a bit of a bust.

Hope nerve pain is improving. I wonder if gabapentin would help.

Glad the ribs came out as desired and you got GKs to boot. Sounds wonderful.

Did you get your hike in, Mike. I prefer a denser sourdough. Is the trick to just shorten the rising time?

Be OP ;-)
