A break from the local action departing on our annual "Barking Spiders" eight day voyage with a fine group of veteran anglers on board. A bit of welcome travel provided an afternoon respite after all settled in with a little gear tinkering then a hearty happy hour. All good. Prospects on the bow and a fine load of bait set the show in motion. Look for daily reports here and images to follow. Photos today feature a couple of screen grabs from a BFT foamer a few days prior.
