The weather man nailedit.Super soggy! Went to three different fleets with no action.Got away from everyone.The other wind weatherman lied and we pounded against 20 knots.Went to turn and got a bluefish.I started to circle back and we hooked then dropped a keeper class bass.Next pass we had a big bass get off inches from the net.Another pass we had a big bass (too big). Then three passes on the spot coughed up three keepers.The cold and wet had taken its roll and we came in a little early.All in all have to call it a success.
Gotta love clients like Stan and Brian... Regulars aboard Reel Happy, they are experienced anglers and like to "do it their self". . They often bring Annie and..Brian... Regulars aboard Reel Happy, they are experienced anglers and like to "do it their self". They often bring Annie and Lydia their daughters who are well versed onthe art of fishing as well.We covered a lot of water today collecting a limit of slob class (18") sea bass a couple puffers a load of short flue (way too many 17 3/4") the few that made the cut.
Had a couple of regulars today, Pat, Fred, and Mary Beth as we dial in on the sea bass spot catching keepers with tons of shorts in the mix. We started catching some nice sea bass and some fluke. . Happy Birthday Mary Beth, hope we made it a memorable one. See you guys in 2 weeks.
So.... my Hero, Chloe brought her family back to do combat with slob monster sea bass and ling a dings... first time meeting the rest of her family. She and brother Will out did mom and dad on the catching but I expected no less?
Family... We talked about those who regularly fish with us as being that a couple weeks ago Family members Carlos and Lucas joined us on a tuna run last night and today.... Thanks to the intel a number of friends gave me , picking a spot was pretty easy. Glassy seas greeted us for the 50 odd mile run. We arrived in the dark and deployed our spread...
Mere seconds passed before the outtrigger ballyhoo got slammed... As I re rigged, flat line cedar plugs were next to get crushed Fish in the box. In the dim first hints of light we saw fish on the surface. I fired a jig at them, one crank and it was game in. Then the flat lines cedar joined the party again. Then the outriggers again. Before the sun broke the horizon we were in release mode...
We had a special treat in the midst of it... A nice king Mackerel... The sun rose and the bite died off with just one more bite before heading back to home port.... All in all a great day with great people...
