Here is the Report From Rob! Way to Go Man!
...I heard the whispering about the WSB bite going on in our back yard, and had to take a late-night peek. Steven, Jared and I left Mission Bay on the Defiance 290 Guadalupe around 10:00pm last night and got all tanked up by the guys on the Outer Banks light boat.....They had a full-on float going, and making bait was easy...but since we didn't realize it until last minute, it was nice to have the guys out there.
So it was off to the bush to wait it out....A few guys were set up, and a few more came later.....Super important: come in slow, quiet, and stealthy. Nav-lights only - no spreaders.....hand-over-hand the anchor....no winches, music, slamming lids, dropping pliers on the deck....dark and quiet.....then wait.
My personal best came around 2:00am....I've been living with a forty pounder as my best croaker for twenty years, but this one hit 55-pounds on Seaforth landing's scale...
Steven got one about 35 around 3:30am....we fished it 'till Gray, and headed in to work......No sleep, but well worth it!!
