Gorgeous morning to be out fishing the CBBT. There was an unusual shore break that made the launch tricky compared to normal conditions and the seas were about 2-3' to start the day. The seas calmed down after about an hour.

My primary target were Spade fish to start the morning because the current was slack and shifting to incoming within 1-2 hours. I brought my last bit of frozen clam I had leftover from the last Snaggedline trip (thanks YakScientist!). I found a few larger than I have caught before and had to chase them around the pilings, which makes your heart race. They truly are a fun fish to catch of any size and I spent much longer fishing for them because they kept biting.

When the current shifted to outgoing, I switched up to my sheep gear and found one on my second drop. They always put up such an awesome fight and this one was the hardest fighter yet. It measured out to about 23.5".

I caught a few tautog after the sheep from 12-14.5", which were a pleasant surprise.
