The inaugural pseudo-safari for the season actually took place in my own back yard at Westport. Was anxious to see what 4 blades of stainless steel could do in the big blue pond, so I hitched up the F/V eyeFISH and brought my neighbor flyingfish and LMWS for the maiden run on a Sunday afternoon. Tried a spot in close to no avail, and ended up about 9 miles out before we found a pod of willing biters. Never had to leave a 1/4 mi patch to keep the rods busy. LMWS's Seducer outfished the goods deployed on the two other rods by a WIDE margin.

Best discovery of the day was that the E-Tec was capable of propelling the black barge of death back home at a cool 28 knots without getting my passengers wet! YEE HAW!
