So woke up early, looked outside and it looked calm and nice, so decided to grab the fly rod and hop into the whaler at 5am for an early fish.

Got out didn’t see anything towards Weymouth so headed towards Hull, when something caught my eye in the Weymouth direction. I had seen a bird circling and then saw another heading in that direction.

I put Hull on the back burner and headed for Weymouth. As I got closer I saw more birds and POW, there was a good bird work up and fish splashing on the surface.

Ran into some early issues sorting out fly line and a tangle on something in the boat. But finally got the line out, right on target and 3rd or 4th strip, had one on…

Had a good number of bites, maybe as many as 10-15, saw a couple of nice takes close to the boat.

Overall landed and released a couple big fish, and one small fry, in a little over an hour.

Great morning out, not another boat fishing as far as I could see
