Today's group more fathers sons..I was impressed that the dads manned up and wore PDFs as well as the boys who were required to.Slow start then we dialed them in! Loads of 17 and 17 1/2" shorts.A hand full of 18-20" keepers. Robins and sharks rounded things out.Then today was the day of the rays.Released two and the third became "scallops" Good time had by all!!
Today's group arrived a couple minutes late but that's ok. It was to be a half day fluke run like so many others.They mentioned an interest in sea bassso we altered course to a place we could catch both.First sea bass rig was hammered as it reached the bottom.Keeper!The bite was on fire with great percentage being more keepers and we had out limit in about 20 mins.
Sincewe scored no fluke there we went back where we have had a good action the last few days. Izabelle dropped and put the reel in gear.The rod instantly doubled up.Bottom snag?Nope it moved!Painfully slow getting it to the surface.Then we saw it!Hard to fit in the net!!
Wepicked at shorts and keepers but flukezilla has our full attendtion.Time passed then another heavy figh.this time a Stargazer!A monster 8 pound one atb that.The fluke monster scaled at 13 pounds!So much for just another boring half fday fluke trip!
Today's group were a long way from hometheir home country Egypt! First drift was terrible.Second not much better.Went offshore where no crowds would bug me.It worked sharks were thick but good mix of shorts and keeper fluke kept us busy as well.Keepers wern't jumbos with some at just over 18 and two closer to 20". Lot of 17" class fish out there makingus crazy...I was caught off guard when we added this slob class porgy to the pile.Even more surprised when we added a second one! Worked hard in the heat.Time for a little ac and cold water.
Today's group arrived on time and we were off.The fleet had gathered in a spot not the same as yesterday so we did an unsuccessful drift there..There was a little shift in the wind direction and speed sice yesterday and we had a brutal time trying to dial in our drift but finally it came to us.Action was more sporadic but managed some nice keepers and of course the assortment og shorts,sharks and robins to fill in and keep us active through the morning.
Today we had Mike's group fathers and sons aboard fishing with us.We started out fishing and then the wind died out.We catch a keeper and a few sea robins as well.We continue drifting deeper water and caught more dog fish and sea robins.Made couple more drifts in the channel and caught some more keepers.We continued catching more shorts and sea robins to the end of the day!Overall we had a llot of action to keep everyone busy!
