Dont hang with dark he has bad juju. Staying away will greatly improve your odds of catching.
He used to carry a googan bucket. Once he ate a sand wich that had clam juice on it and got the runs. He fished with us and we hasseled him all night about it he had to make many pit stops in the woods. I have one good story to tell. There was one night when bunker filled a certain harbor. We were all snagging and loading up for the next few nights of fishing. I had trouble snagging my hooks were rusty. He harassed me about it, was relentless. The next time he saw us me and this other guy he used to fish with a lot each got a 10 pack of weighted trebles from him. He said he didn't want to hear our googan whining any more. and he is the biggest googan of all. but a good dude. At least you got some fish today monty I read your report sounded like a lot of fun. We got the goose egg last night. You win some and lose some.
