Epic.....................in my eyes after a lackluster 2024

Started out real early to get fuel and find the peanuts. They eluded me real good for a bit but perseverance paid off. Interesting how many mullet came up in the net. Could that be a great surf run in the next week? Anyway, got to the areas a little later than intended but dropped the lines in. First spot - zero. Ugh. Is this my day? Moved around a bit and found them good. Many peanuts sacrificed their young lives to assist putting 14 keeps in the boat and 7 shorts. Mind you, the shorts were 19 -19 1/4. Just an awesome and savage bay bite. Peanuts on a 3/0 hook with a 1/2 oz egg sinker on a light spinning rod. Each fish was a powerhouse on the fight, ripping drag and running around the boat, embarrassing me with each swing of the net. When the carnage was done, ended with a 6 3/4 pounder, a 5 even pounder and 4 3/4 pounder in the ice. Pictures are scarce as my son cancelled on me late last night. Last year he was the man for weight and numbers. Anyway, sent him pictures along the way to rub it in, LOL.
Be safe, not cold or rough enough to clear the water of the problems. Soon!
