Headed out of Ryders early in the morning. Just as it was getting so you could see we arrived at the inlet, and it didn't look to bad. We got in the channel and soon we were staring at a 8 foot WALL. We drop off that one, only to be greeted by a breaking 10'+ wall of water. We took the bow of the boat about 4 feet up, and the wave came completely over the t-top and rigging, puttng a foot of water into the boat, it was pretty scarey stuff, the boat following us must have had an awsome view! We got past the inlet and had a nice ride out to the grounds, got the lines in and had one smash one of the bars, no hook up. We trolled around trying to find the fish, around 8 we had fish in the spread again, this time we hooked up. I fought the fish and we brought it on board, a nice fat 55'' fish. Trolled the same area and 10 minutes later Chris gets to fight a nice 60'' fish which we got a good release on. After that we had 2 more smashes with no hook ups, so we decided to call it an early day. The rollers did a number on me today, I puked a few times  I never got sick on our old boat :unsure: So we left fish that were hitting, we were all pretty beat. Still a fun day that could have started out REAL bad with us dying at the inlet :lol: :lol: Hotreels jr. Jeff

| Gotta love Chatham. After picking thru the harbor bouys and the cluster f*k of lobster pots, your greeted with the cut thru the breakers, marked only by a high flyer. Which, by the way, can't be seen on radar as it's camoflaged with the breakers around it. Finding the cut on the way back in the fog is no easy feat either. I love it!! Great job on the fish. Congrats. | ||

| depends where the fish are, best bet is to get out there, find the fleet, then stay away from them.  | ||
