Past the barb and in the drink

I had Chris, Paul, and Hunter on a morning half dayer for some light tackle pullage.  We pushed off at 0600 and headed  out in sheet glass conditions.  Shortly after we arrived at the first stop we started catchin’ em.  Mostly short trout with some mystery bites in the mix.  The bite started to slow down a little while we worked our way down the bank.  Hunter gets a nice cast in a pretty little pocket and pulls out a beautiful keeper red all lit up.  That one goes in the box.  We start hitting a few fish on the one little point so I pull the boat up to the bank.  After catching a few I decide to push off and keep moving.  In the process of pushing the boat off the bank I managed to take a swim.  Wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened since the heat was cranking.  The total was approx. 20 trout, 1 striper, 1 flounder, and 1 drum.  Inshore slam baby!  Towards the end of the trip I decided it would be a good idea to stick a trebble hook in my hand when I was unhooking a fish.  Overall a fun time with these guys, thanks alot for fishing with me!
