Tuesday Morning at the Point

[PathfinderNI]

Decided to sneak out to the Point this morning before the Arctic blast came through. A bit foggy, got to the landing about half an hour after sunrise. High tide had the water was over the docks and gave me fits launching my boat. Slipped my boat rope noose over my guide pipe on my trailer so that I could retrieve my boat after launching. The rope got hung up over my runner board and wouldn't allow the boat to launch out much past the trailer. Pulled back up a bit to try to free the rope, but the boat was in a bind against the back of the trailer and wouldn't allow me to pull the rope around the board! Appreciate the help from three guys who had just launched their boat. They were able to come by and untie the boat rope at the boat eye so that I could pull up. Finally got on the water with absolutely no wind to speak of. Fished from the Cove area out to the Hammock picking up a few here and there trolling around. Trolled into a nice flock of birds just as the rain hit around noon or so. Pulled in one nice one before the rain drove the birds away and sent me back to the landing soaking wet. Ended up with 8 including a white trout. There was some kind of giant yellow offshore racing boat with an engine noise that you could hear 5 miles away. Guess he's not a fisherman as he blasted by within a 100 yards of everyone fishing from the Cove to the Point!
