Low tide bats - 11/9

[MASSfisher]

Headed to the bay after work with some coworkers. I was the only one fishing and quickly set up my gear.

Ingredients:

40# mono
1 Carolina rig
(1) 3 oz. egg sinker
(1) Owner 7/0 Aki Twist hook

I've been having a lot of luck with this hook lately. It's great for pinning on whole squid and medium to smaller sized mac heads.

Right away I had a nice pick up that ripped line for a good 5 seconds. Of course I was setting up everything and didn't get to my rod on time. Had a few more pick ups and lost a lot of bait to smaller mystery fish. Most likely bass.

Finally, I had something pick up and rip line. A smaller sized bat ray...but I'll take it!



A bit later a larger model came out to play:




It felt good to pull on some bigger creatures. Can't wait to do it again. Good luck out there!

It's that slimy time of year.  Congrats on the mud marlin.

Nice. I spent sunday morning feeding fish. Couldn't get a hook in any of them.

Always fun when they are willing to play, no matter what the size
