Backbay Slam!

Fished today with Mike S and his son Mike in the bay. We started out
fluking and ended up with four keepers and a bunch of throwbacks. We
lost a giant fluke over 8 pounds and around 30 inches right next to
the boat but just out of reach. What a heartbreaker! When the tide
peaked we switched over to poppers and caught and released four
stripers to 26 inches and a bunch of blues. Big Mike hooked a bull of
a striper that ran off a bunch of drag and then simply let go of the
plug. Little Mike caught his first fish on a popper, a nice blue. So
with stripers, fluke, and bluefish coming to the boat we had our
backbay slam. If only there were some weakfish around we could have
had the grand slam! What a great day with nice people.
