first bigger spring fish...

16 1/2 pounds, 36 inches. Second cast. Live eel. Snake Ditch. Around 8 p.m. Top of the incoming.

Before this I had been waiting around for Steve. There were acres of birds out front diving, and I couldn't resist casting at them seeing as though I had my waders and surfcasting rod with me. They were on Herring. It was fun to watch, some other anglers hooked up, but I had to wait for my Ditch fish. Is the spring going to be as epic as the fall?
