Finally got permission from the wife and kids to hit the beach for an early evening session of pounding the sand. It's my first evening trip this year. At 1700 hrs, While walking down the dune to the beach, see one of my friends hooked up in the distance.

Within 5 minutes, I'm on. Lose it in the suds after a quick tug of war. Looked about 10 pds. Half hour later, got 2 nice fish, flopping in the sand. 10-12 pders.

Highlight of the day was watching a fish busting on the pencil popper at least 3 times. Was doing summersaults, attacking the lure. Never got him hooked though.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”

Got 3 today but released one.  Makes 48.

Get better alien, or just cut it off.  You can hop on one foot to chase stripers.

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.
