The report is a bit late, but oh well, better late than never. We got out of Lynnhaven around 5:30 pm. We started trolling around the first island, but natta. Around 7 P.M. the water started to lay down, so we headed toward the second island. We started with a red/white stretch 35++, a jointed stretch 25 and a charteuce umbrella. We ran into a good amount of school fish in the 18"-28". Around the third island the finally got a 40+" in the box, that is where things started to get wild. We crossed the channel to the fourth and started again. From this point on we caught only hogs in the 36"- 44" range. We were trolling bay side, in calm seas, with a steady outgoing tide. For the first time, I had to throw the umbrella in the box. The stretch's were not allowing me time to launch my umbrella rig. I had to deploy the the stretch's very quietly or I would have a schoolie immediately. Like clockwork, within 5 minutes of deploying the two lures, we would have a hookup. We would turn away from the bridge, fight the fish, land it, measure it and release it. Then repeat. We must have released 25+ fish above 36". Best of all, every fish seemed to be released in good health. We were exhausted by the time we reached the high rise, so we turned around and started trolling back home. We landed 4 or 5 hogs on the way home but not nearly the frequency as trolling the opposite direction. We trolled back to the 4th island, then packed up and headed back to Lynnhaven. On top of the 25+ hogs landed, we had at least 25+ misses and a few of these misses seemed to be much larger fish. All in all this was one of the best fishing experiences I have ever had.

great job, sounds like an awesome day
