Hello Kitty 2-20-15

[BackBayMan]

Wanted to recon the other "Secret Spot" for Bat Fight Friday night. Hooked up with Glen on the sand around 6:00PM. Rising tide, no surf to speak of, light wind and no salad. Fished for about an hour with no love on the long rods. Then Cutty and Matt came down and we moved to another spot. Started to get some action from bait thieves. Glen, I and Cutty were long rodding, but Matt's back was bothering him so he was working the skinny with the trout gear. Matt showed the crows and smelt who was boss

Then at 8:15 my rod goes bendo. Wasn't the target species, but it sure was fun. Wanted to get such a pretty fish back into the water as quick as possible, so didn't bother to tape it. I'm 5'9", and there was a bit of a camera angle, but I'm pretty comfortable calling it at least 48"

Then Cutty's rod goes off and he brings in a nice thornback, and then Glen follows with a small variety of our target species. Glenn followed that up with a skate, and that was it, the bite shut off

No monsters of the target species, but no stripes and a pretty nice consolation prize. All in all pretty darn good for a Bat Fight recon trip with some bros in February

Pic or it didn't happen

Beauty Chip!  Good thing it's not the SNLF! 

BTW, thornback rays are -1.  Someone passed that on to Steve and I about 6 years ago and it stuck.  It's messed up if you get a 140 pound bat ray that is negated from a -1 Thronback.  LOL

Nice leo. As long as you catch something, especially if it pulls a little drag. Remember, the tug is the drug...
