the Kitchen is open and soup is back on the menu (25JUN2019)

Met up with Andre just before sunset for some REAL Tuesday night fishing As per my style, I'm last on the beach and I already see him releasing a little bat ray. The skunk is already off for him. I quickly rig up and toss out a mack head. While I get the rest of my gear together, I look over at Andre and see he's hooked up again! Pretty solid fight. Very soup-like, zigging and zagging and some breaching.  A quick drag up the beach for some pics and off it went. 68"



Damn, he's on fire already! Feeling the pressure, I get bit not that long after and it's a good one. Long runs resulting in seeing braid I haven't seen in well over a year. Andre slides her up and she's a beaut! My new PB at 75".



And then we a smattering of bat rays throughout the night that was not well received by me... Lol! I ended getting 4 and Andre gets 2. I actually ended my night with a bat. The bites were fast and furious. We were bit about every 10mins. We had 2 double hookups, which we both lost. Andre went 4 for 6 and I went 2 for 5. It was a pretty awesome night.

Andre's remaining catches in no particular order:

   





And my last one:



Andre has vaulted past Josh and my slow climb continues. Binh is in sight Andre!!!

Jeez. I was on the beach at that early hour. I would have joined you guys but I was down the road and didn't check the beaches.

Hell of a night guys.

You and Tom are pretty set on your crew of 2. I'm sure there's plenty of people that would like to share some sand with you guys.

I suppose that's true enough. Not used to seeing you out in daylight though.
