Tournament Day

[AlloyToy]

My youngest son and I fished in the "Fluke Till You Puke" tournament Sat.

Up at 3:30 and out the door. We readied all the gear food ect the night before. Started off Newport. Made a few drifts....no fluke Had a very large Bass grab my 25# fluke rig at the surface and steamed for the deep. Got him to the surface after a challenging fight only to see him make a turn and run the gill plate over the mono.....SNAP!!

Headed further East to Sakonnet and made multiple drifts in the big rollers.....nothing!!

Decided with time winding down to head back West to Narragansett. Found a school of blues pounding the surface and to keep my sons head in the game handed him the spinning rod and watched him toss a surface plug at the feeding frenzy.
He was so excited to see the multiple hook up surface explosions landing by himself four blues. Played for a 1/2 hr with them and headed to the beaches for Fluke. Had a dozen fish with only two being keepers.

By noon the little guy had enough with the sea conditions. We pulled the plug and headed for the barn and the tournament cookout.

All in all great day OTW with the youngest. Best Father's Day gift going

Hey AT...one of yer "OIL" tankers made it's way down here!

In case I didn't tell ya yet. And it paid the price too. After it's battle with something with larger teeth to it's tail, it became fertilizer under a small tree I planted in the back yard....C'C'mon

So, no Flukes? That's a Fluke. (head scratch emoticon missing)
