I'm glad you were able to ride the waves out. If you are fishing the shallower parts of the channel spoil area, be sure to run out to deep water every time a ship goes by. It's a lot of trouble, especially if you are onto the fish, but no boat can survive the ship wakes in the shallower parts of the channel spoils.

Glad you made it back to shore without swamping the boat. You must have been testing the boats floatability with those waves. Guess it passed the tests. It was a nice day for a boat ride and you never know what you may catch in the salt. I think someone recently said " Some days chickens and some day Feathers". Waiting for the pictures too.
