Dues Paid

ByCapt. Wendy

After paying our dues last week and equipped with a new anchor and chain, Termite and I hit the water hard Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week.  Here is what today held for us.  

Heading out looked like this . . .isn’t the marsh beautiful?

 
We dropped the trolling motor and the bite was on . . .

That’s what happens when you hang in there and pay your dues!
