Dad and I decided to take a trip to 3 mile friday night to try for some bulls. We left around 9 P.M. to catch the start of the incoming tide. The 17th landing was packed, there were only 2 spots left to park when we arrived. The bay was fairly nice, with just a light chop and the moon was big and bright. As soon as we got anchored up, the white trout/skipjack bite was on. We were catching them on the last of the outgoing tide, on the slack tide, and on the start of the incoming tide....but no sign of the reds. Around midnight the menhaden cruised by and the top of the water really started to get active. Soon after that Dad managed to snag a menhaden, so he hooked it up to his Penn 760 and freelined it with a circle hook. Not too long after he tossed it out the drag started running, and then nothing? He reeled in 1/2 a menhaden. Meanwhile we are still catching white trout and skippies. Not long after we managed to snag another menhaden and Dad chunks it back out this time hooked in the top of the middle.....bam...screaming drag....about 7 minutes later he got this nice bull to the boat A nice 34 inches. sorry about the pic but I forgot my good camera. Well it was starting to sprinkle and the wind was picking up, not to mention it was after 2 a.m. Well we headed back to the launch with 16 nice white trout and 1 trophy pic. This is when the night goes south....I back my trailer down and trailer the boat, get it ready to ride and start to pull out when I notice the boat shaking like crazy....oh noooo...flat tire...no spare...no jack...Well now I have to start thanking all the people who either recognized me or I recognized from the forum for helping or asking if they could help. SPECIAL THANKS TO KEN (BIGRIGZ), AND RAY (KONZ), who loaned me a jack. Also thanks to Alan not sure what his forum name is but he helped as well. After driving to wal-mart and buying a rim and tire, I made it home by 5 A.M. and had to be at work at 9:30...talk about a long day. Anyway....thanks to all the great forum members who helped out I got the glastron back to Pace. Oh yeah, I almost forgot we also tried fix a flat...and an air compressor...no luck...well thanks again everybody for your help, and thanks for reading my reports. Good luck and good fishing, Glastronix

We caught alot of white trout and ladyfish, a few small specks and a few catfish and even caught a couple of menhadden that were hooked in the mouth with a pinfish almost as big as the menhadden. No reds,flounder or sharks. Maybe next time!!!
