Gotta call this morning from my good friend RT "goose let's go fishing". OK. Had a gentlemen's start and hit Shelter Island around 10:30 after provisioning with ice and some fine Santana's bean and cheese burritos with heaps of salsa verde.
Started pounding sand in 60 feet and the smack was flying pretty hard, like it always has for the past 20 years. And we pounded heaps of sand like we always do.
I scratched up a decent fish maybe 10lbs around 11:00. RT answered with a huge 5lb fish so we had 2 in the box. Somehow I scratched up another pushing 19lbs or so at 2:30. It was the bottom of the ninth and RT got a good biter around 15lbs just as we were calling it a day.
Somehow I managed to capture the "Almighty Flattie Poohbah" crown this time.
RT wins the Pink Pirate award snagging this fine kite...."I got headshakes bro".
Conditions were great and I had a blast.
Fall is a great time to target the flat ones. This year is proving no different.
