Arranged to meet up with Squatch at an old AO aka the obstacle course. Got to the spot lil after 440, squatch was already chumin em up and busted one off on the big rod. I get there, set up and unload the wood. As squatch is retrieving some tackle from his truck his seeker goes off and guess who's there to grab it ;) you snooze you lose right?
Legit Bat

Steve didn't wear the stripe long, on his 4th attempt he lands this lil scrappy Bat

Slowed down a bit til it got dark and then the real Donkeys came out to play

And we each lost another Tank (or 2) shortly into the fights but both jumped and we knew what they were... jus a preview of things to come. Can u say Dialed In?
Well done guys. You were killing me with the texts.
Those looked like some serious contending bats and a spot that is super hit or miss and the term "Obstacle Course" is even an understatement. ;D
I need to get this injury healed up. The steroids are not working and I can still barely walk... faq.... 3 weeks of sharp stinging pain down my leg and I'm ready to just cut it off.
Damn, the best our scouting has resulted in is..................one 12" and one 24" bat :o :o :o
None the less, WTG gentleman.....V
Outstanding guys!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Nice Mud Marlins, and nice quantity! I don't know if I even wanna join in on the Bat Fight ::), you guy's grounds are just too hot with em!
thanks guys definitely the best night bat'in we've had in a long while as far as quality goes, tried something on a whim and knocked em out cold. Gonna give it another go tonight with Joe (jaws) Dave feel free to join if u got some time. Tom you were definitely missed, again on a Tuesday, hope ur back gets back to 100% soon. But don't worry I'll keep the bay on lock down til the surf calms down.
@7geezie all it takes is one Bat... wouldn't be the same if all the counties didn't have all their top sticks in the mix... keep at it they'll show up sooner or later. Probably not for the bat fight though ;D
Hey Josh - yeah we're trying again tonight. Gonna roll in Paul's truck :-\
See you down there.
I gotta put in work and start looking for spots up here, I've bin ignoring the bats as of late..
Congrats on the great catches, I'd be lying if I didn't say I feel a bit nervous for the bat fight lol
Dang, sounds like I better check with the wife and join you all.
Three bites in my first three casts. One stuck and I couldn't stop it. It wrapped me on a buoy and I think I tried the wrong way to unwrap it. I checked my drag after and nearly cut my hand trying to pull it.
Lots of bites. Some of them ran a while and dropped it. When I reeled in, the bait was almost sushi grade still.
Tom, I wish you were well enough to join us. It was the best bat night in ages.
Props to Josh, he landed the big ones, even if I had to cast out for him for one of them.
Dude! Epic night!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be down there tonight if I have to walk!
Just for that Josh I might have to see how my slimy harbor buddies are doing :D!
So jelly right now!!
Pretty cool. I'm gona lay into some on my next outing.
lovin it 8)
