The wind blew and the fish ate

[captflatback]

I have this little story to tell you about it happened about a week or so ago when the bad w word came out of no ware by the way the bad w word is WIND I needed to get out and look around for some charters coming up. The weather man said 10 to 15 will the first mistake was listening to the weather man I get out as the sun comes up and I’m running over to a flat on the east side of the Howard Franklin to get bait and its blowing 10 or so not bad I get there and start getting bait the wind starts to pick up and shifting to the south so I wanted to look at one more bait spot over by 4th st so we took off  and got about half way across and it has to be blowing in the upper 20’s and about 3 to 4 foot in the bay will I’m not into getting my a$$ beat so I start to head back and I could not believe how good this flat back handled this rough of seas with a little spray here and there thanks to the spray rails Tommy at hammerhead put on. The boat was very impressive in this big chop in the bay so we finally make it back to the UTB were the waves were smaller and start to look for some fish and we found them thanks to the live well full of bait we ended up with 15 Snook up to 14lbs and 10 upper slot Redfish and put a good hurting on the big Trout for a day that started out bad it had a good finish to it and I didn’t break my boat. That was one of the worst days I got caught in with this boat and I was glad to be in a Classic Auqasport. I also wanted to give Tommy some props at Hammerhead for doing a great job on building my boat like a rock.

Hi Jim, good to hear the results on both parts of the story.  
How did the repairs come out from that marker that you told me about at the last gathering?  Hope to see you at this upcoming gathering.
Got any pics of your buddy's FB?
