Alright, the story...
Set out last night around 7:30ish with my cuz. Abouttwo hourslater, he's cold and wants to go home. About a half dozen fish in the boat.
Drop him off at the dock and pick up my bro. We head back out. It slowed down a bit. Saw some nice beds with no flounder to be found. Fished until about 2:00am. Went alot longer and farther than anticipated. 13 flounder, 1 sheep. Checked the gas... :doh ... pretty light.
Bee-line it back across the bay. Sputter, sputter. Out of gas in the middle of the bay.
Start paddling. About an hour later and ready to take a nap, hang a gig over the side and we have bottom! Ok. Let's drop the lights and pole back.
3:40am phone call. Other brother. Says he'll come get us. Then, "There he is(flounder not brother)."Shake him off in the boat. Turn around, there's another. Hit him. Before I can get him outta thewater, there's another.
Make a loop. No more, but if there laying like this, we gotta check this next spot down the beach before Willie gets here.
Pole, pole. Get to the spot, nothing. Then, 7 in the boat. Willie shows up. Hit 2 more poling out to meet him.
I learned a couple things last night. One of them being, monitor fuel level... :banghead
