Nice report. I know you guys had been planning this trip for some time. Glad you got to fish at least one day. The weather God's might have done you a favor for not getting to fish a second day. I've finally recovered from three days of rough seas over Memorial weekend. I'm sure your sore from fighting the seas and catching all those brutal AJ's after just one day. Rough weather will take a toll on the old body. It's hurts worse with every year of age.
I gather from your report the new 08 stella was worth the price. Glad it performed well for you.
Few questions for you.
1. Are all the AJ's in NC non eatable?
2. Did you see many weed lines on the way to the AJ grounds?
3. Did the fin nor egg beater break on a fish or did Bret fall on it?
4. Did anyone try to give a Saragosa a workout?
