Solo session
69th place is always packed with surprises for me. Started off the morning dealing with some crazy tides as little tornadoes of water formed around me and I had to constantly switch positions to stay in the same place. When leaving, the winds kicked up and I spent quite a bit of time kicking back to the beach. Had additional issues with a dickface boater that literally circled me on my way in.

Goals – Primary goal today was to try out my new baits. I did tie on some Red Crab but did not get any bites on it. Proud to report that all of my baits caught fish with the exception of the White/Silver. I even tied on a color that is similar to New Penny that is light Pumpkin Brown with Copper and Black flake and it caught a bass.

Report – Had the pleasure of catching several really notable fish. Caught a HUGE Spottie for me that fought like all hell and a Calico that was also an insane fighter. I really need a measuring tape on my tray so I can get an idea of the length. My thumb is literally all tore up and sore from handling these fish. Tried really hard to get them under control much faster and get them shown to the camera. Not sure if I accomplished that but damn my thumb hurts now.
