Description
Headed out on the new She's A Keeper for the first time with BriTime and his brother. Ran all the way up to the BB and found the fleet on the birds and breaking bass. Tried jigs and topwaters with no results for a least an hour before giving in and going up on the troll. Missed the first two knock downs but landed the third. Nice bass around the mid 20 pounds. Landed 4 more all between 20 and 25 pounds. All were caught around 55 feet and on 9ers white/black shad rig or black eel rig.

Ocean conditions couldn't have been much better. Great talking to High Risk, Rambuctious, Sea Smoke and others. Hope you are ok Sea Smoke!

Great day and awesome to get blood on the deck on the first trip! Couldn't be happier right now!
