Well, I met Dave and Roger down at the bay yesterday late morning to do a little fishing. I decided to stop on the way and see if there were any Crab fossils still available to collect before they start building on the land. It took a while, but sure enough I found a bunch. I got a pocket load of great specimens in less than an hour before heading down to the bay.

The day before I also met up with them and we jumped around the bay for a bass here and there. It was pretty damn good bass fishing. Dave scored two nicer models before calling it quits.

Roger ended up with 6 bass. Unfortunately none bigger than 10", but he also missed quite a few short biters.
I did fairly well and got 8 bass with only one being under 12".

I also got a solid 16" bass. It's been a long time since I got a spotty in the bay this size and it was almost noon!

We called it when the bite shut down and I watched the old guys battle it out in Backgammon. Fun day indeed.
Thanks for reading and until next tide!
