When a plan comes together! I had a great deckhand for i guess 15 or so years.should really call him equal as we made a hell of a team! Colin bumped into an old Florida client,Dave,and they hatched the idea of diong an exploration run with me.They added Colin's cousin Lindsay and her BF Nick I What a great reunion it would be!What to fish for? They all surf fish and tired of striped bass.Ok let's do sea bass... Wind building to 20 put that idea down.That left Fluke?
Colin and I had some sneaky spots for them and even sneakier tactics.Lindsay was first to arrive.Last time I saw her she was just a little kid.Drop dead gorgeous women now.Could be a model but took the noble step of becoming an EMT.Soon we hit the water.The Fluke were haed to come by for a while.Dani was the first to score then we dialed them in, blistering a bunch to 25 inchies Great ratio of keepers!
We did some looking around as we ran. Decided to go where we left them biting yesterday. Good call. Within a couple minutes of setting the bait spread out we collected our first bass of the day. The pick was good for a while then got quiet. We trolled to a spot that produced earlier in n the week and it was nonstop action. Most were keepers with a few throw backs. We did hook one slob monster beast and luck wasn’t with us. A sailboat under power in the middle of nowhere decided to alter course and run our fish over. In the end though, Igor and his group had a great day.
Machine lit up like a christmas tree but they had lock jaw for quite a whilr.Then someone flipped the switch and it was a steadynpick on most anything we threw at them,No studs or shorts fish.all slots 29-32" and a bluefish fi]or grinds.
The fish moved again right to where i had em a few days ago. The crowd was pretty thick but doable.Steadystream of striped critters kept the guest happy.Limited by 10;30 a little while was spent in release mode and the guest were worn out.Back early and mega meat headed to their grills.I like it when it goes as hoped for....
Had to work hard to get it done today. Overtime to be more precise. Got it in areas that others picked a stray bite from but we couldn't draw any love.Wrnt everywhere i had caught fish this week. No love. they were just wouldn't eat.Caught a glimpse og something that broke the water as i was on the way home.Dropped lines in and got a bluefish.Next pass was a striped bass followed by four more three of which were keeper class.These guest came a long way and glad they scored...
