Squatch and I went down on a Thursday night since he was unavailable on Tues. I pulled up and Squatch was already there. Soon as I started getting ready, another truck pulled up and started pulling out long rods. I texted Steve and then another truck pulled up with long rods... WTF??? then I saw one vehicle was Andre and the other person was Josh. I forgot, it's Thursday and the T.N.G.C.
Incoming tide, Waxing Crescent Moon, Small Surf...
Lot's of bait Stealers and lots of catching up. I walked over and started catching up with Mike. This year has been tough, as far as grinners have been going, for a lot of guys and Mike was way overdue. As I was catching up with him, his rod started singing! Definitely the right kind. Josh noticed my headlamp shining at the water and came running over to be the sand hand.
Roughly 70 inch Female Soupie. Hooked her perfectly in the side of the lip. I took some pics on Mike's phone, but didn't have my phone on me so hopefully he posts a pic.
That was it. Every bait was getting mauled by lobster and other bait stealers. Actually Squatch caught a fish which put him in the negatives. We haven't seen a -1 Thornback in about 5 years... until now. hahaha
That was it. We fished until 11:00 and called it quits. At least one guy in the group reeled in a good one!
