Yeah, it was a little brutal out there yesterday. It was good to meet up with you guys. It feels a lot safer with other guys around. We hit the wind wall earlier than I expected as I was thinking it would hit around 11:00 and it must have been a wall Donald Trump built. Stopped us cold from moving out any further.

So when I split from you guys and paddled over to the AR1, which took about 30 minutes, as soon as I hit the spot the tide and current kicks in aggressively. As soon as I would set on a spot and drop I was off the spot 25 yards. I had to paddle into the current to maintain a close vicinity of my spot. I had several bites with one biting clean through my 40 lb. leader. Didn't get to bring anything home.

I stayed out until 3:00 which was 9 1/2 hours on the water. I thought my arms were going to fall off when I made it back in.

Hopefully next time we meet up we find better conditions.
