Mornings are always beautiful when you're fishing

2nd day of Classic

Fair Haven bay

Our starting air temp. was in the mid 50's, and raining but the wind had settled down overnight.  

Fall was in the air

Chad Acome and Jack Wilson Jr

The wind stayed down all day so that fishing was a lot easer.

And the rain stopped and started through out the day.
