Isl . cruising out at the break of
dawn, we coasted through the jetties
oro open water and headed for the
fishing grounds off East Chop . we
struck at several banks with mediocre
success because the tide was running
out and the mbblcs were plentiful but
the swift flow Of the underwater cur
rent aided the game fish to fight free of
the hook while being pulled to the sur

and bounced with showers of spray E.
Adam hauled up a ground shark which
fought tuiously with an uncanny pre-
