OTW in NC

Got out gunned. Take on the bass rod, lots of tail hits, sucked out half the spool and broke off. Crap!

Sand is too short . Tide isn't halfway up an I ran out of land.

AO has potential lots of good signs, baits molested, stolen, 18" calico landed but no pic, last bait of the night was a good half of a small Bonito and it got snatched off in a short run.

Definitely going to be back when the surf and tide align.

The rig that got broke off was 30lb braid with 20lb mono top shot doing a drop shot rig. Got it to stop for a few seconds and it took off again. Bastard was taunting me.

Steve busted off on a big fish and I missed a ripper... I feel your pain.

Excellent sign though.  An 18" calico a beauty!
