Well, I finally broke the ice. I took the boat over to the inlet this morning, and finally caught some fish. I guess the water is finally getting warm enough. It sure did take long enough. We went just outside the jetties, it was a little rough, but not too bad. I dropped a chum bag in the water and it wasn't long a school of Menhaden popped up all around the boat. It was great. We caught numerous sharks right along the rocks. The largest was about 5 foot long. We tried for drum and flounder, but not even a nibble the live mud minnows. My father in law caught a huge spiny dogfish. Seriously, it weighed 10.4 pounds. 1 pound away from a state record. I'm going to post the picture maybe tomorrow. I also caught one hell of a wind burn. Is it just me, or does wind burn hurt worse than a sun burn?[cool]
