Last Friday it was bananas. Thunderstorms were around before daylight, and a few slow movers popped up during the day that had to be watched closely. Despite the interesting skies I had diving birds, fish flying out of the water, a wide variety of predators willing to bite any lure I put in the water; basically the kind of day we dream about. I didn't have room to put kings on board, so they all got released. I caught 29 big Spanish (of course I only kept the 15 fish limit) but all the ones that rode in the boat measured 26-31 inches with five of the Smacks going 30" or longer! I caught two huge jacks on the tiny spinning reel, a cobia (just under legal size) four big bluefish and five bonito. I was forced to head in when I literally ran out of places to put the fish. I ran the surf with the front hatch full, the chill pod full and three fish stuffed under my legs. By mid-day many of the birds that had been flying above the constant mayhem were laying on the surface of the water, looking at each other like "What, I'm too full to fly."
