Expensive night TCD 6-4

[D-I-A]

Fishing was fantastic last night. I caught my limit by 11 PM but I tossed back the fish under 16 looking for better ones. So I only ended up with 8.

The shad were so thick I was forced to use live shad to get the specks to bite. I free lined them with a bb split shot and hooked them just behind their gill plate in order to keep them low in the water column.

Around 2 AM I still hadn't got any fish better than 16 and the fish stopped biting, so I started to pack up my gear and didn't see a tanker come by, it brought some massive waves that hit the rocks and sent a wall of water over the jetty. It blew one of my 1000 watt bulbs and busted open the other. The crazy thing is the bulb still works. I also lost a small wading box with a couple mirrodines, trokar trebles, and jig heads.

Nice fish. Tough luck on the lights. I wouldn't try to run the one with no cover.

Yep. Make sure to switch the cover over to the one that still works.

The way I read it I think the glass broke but the element is still burning - if that's the case it needs to go in the trash.. Which sucks because par 64 bulbs are expensive!

Nice catch and sorry about the lights

You are correct, the bulbs are extremely hot when they are on and I figured when the cool water hit the glass it made it bust open.
