Andre made the long drive up to VC to meet me at a new spot I’ve been wanting to try. We got there at low tide and what looked great on the high tide was now snag city. We soaked one rod each for a half hour before deciding to make a move. Of course I broke off and lost a rig
We made a move to a new spot that we weren’t real hopeful about, but it was the only fishable spot near by. We put out 2 rods each. Longcast Joe showed up and fished awhile too. After about 3 hour, I had no action but Andre had a couple pull downs. The tide was coming in fast and we were running out of sand. I was moving some of our gear up on the rocks as we started packing up when Andre yelled that my rod was bouncing. As I picked it up it went slack in typical sevengill manner. Reeled in the slack, set the hook, fish on!
After a short fight Andre beached this pretty 72” female. She spit out a bunch of mac chunks on the sand as we pulled her up, so she was the one stealing our bait!
