Had our annual Turkey Day Bass trip with Capt Mike, Matt, and myself. We were light one crew member as Jim "Poosy" had been under the weather.

Shoved off at 0700 to calm seas and partly cloudy skies, we were fishing the last of the incoming.

Ran out between the channels, good reads, birds working and we began to jig......after quite a while jigging CApt Mike hooked up with a 29" fish, Matt had a couple hit and misses. Kept jigging for a bit more then thre the wire out. Trolling one unbrella with Black tubes and one with 6" Vision sand eels.

Started picking fish fairly steady, put 3 more keepers 34, 30, 29 in the box and released 20 shorts from 18-17".

Great day on the water with my son and my brother Capt Mike....does not get any better. Headed back in at 11 cleaned the fish and the boat.

All the bass were loaded with 6-8" Mullet, the 29" Bass had 4 in his gut.
