Finally got on the water. Have not started this late in the year for a very long time. 

Launched at 7am next to the Coast Guard Station, pulled out at 11am.

Trolled west staying between 10fow and 20fow . Highest water temp we found was 39deg.

Picked up 8 nice browns in the 5-8lb class.  Had one double.  Lost another 3. One that we lost was not a brown but not sure what it was. It hit the rapala and took off, jumped twice and threw the hook. Never got a good look at it.  Orange was the color of the day for us.

At about 10:30am the ESE wind picked up, got very bumpy and very cold. Had a real tough time getting the boat back on the trailer, the bay was very rough.

Saw one other boat.

Short day but well worth it.

Great morning. Thanks for the report.
