I could not avoid the dogs, luckily I made a bunch of greenies

BTW, launch was not open when we launched at first light, but was upon landing. Soft sand, I opted to not risk getting stuck.

Did have a hookup and a couple slappers . Hooraaah , the launch is open .

Thresher steaks are awesome! Brought some to a friend to smoke and he can't wait to get more. He served a large party and everyone thought it was top quality stuff. A word for those that haven't brought one up green yet. They will slap you out of clear blue no where!!! I caught one across the chest and luckily had my life vest on. If it had caught me in the face it would have been a life changer.

Nice job! A buddy hooked one in Newport today, but broke off, and I have a suspicion that a shark might have gotten one of my baits too while drifting Name: uploadfromtaptalk1462505509474.jpg
