Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM)

Nice fella, but did not seem to be as knowledgeable at inshore fishing as one would expect from a “Twenty Year Veteran ” he describes himself as. He talks a lot . I’m not the greatest fisherman by any stretch of the word, but I’d be feeling guilty if I were him after that trip.
