Good conditions today for my first "on-water" trial of my new little
handheld VHF. From a spot two miles out from the shoreline, I raised
someone on the other side of the Bay Bridge (about 15 miles, easily),
and several boaters nine and 10 miles away down the Bay.

Bought a bag of bloodworms to supplement my bait offerings. Holy Crap!
$9.95. More expensive than the artificial bloodworms. Yikes!
