Went out Friday afternoon and got 4 more, just with different lures than the day before. Used dropshot some more and they liked that. Broke off 2 fish on pilings immediately with 8#. Wanted limper line for 3" flukes but I guess I gotta take what bites I can get on 15#, which was a few still.

All my underspin keeps catching are dinky turds, 3/3 now on the last 3 trips.

From about 50 yards across the channel, a ~30' express boat was idling by with half a dozen older women and maybe a guy or two. One of the ladies called out, "Catch anything?" I just gave a thumbs up. Then, "Are you single?" I smiled and gave a little aw-shucks hand wave. Now I can't help but think that the Dave Scadden Slash is making me look more attractive on the water.
Reorganized my 3600 trays some more today and added a tray. I'd like to try some small flat falls, rattle traps, new swimbait colors, and spinnerbaits. Dropping a couple oversized or otherwise useless plastics. I bought a Plano 3700 Weekender Bag which holds 3 3700 trays but I don't see how I'm going to secure it to the tube so it might just do boat bag duties. I do love my organizing...
