5/5 - Regulars, Jim & Charles...like a well oiled machine?

Set out the BIG sharkin rod all morning on the falling tide with BLOOD chum in the water. Zero action.
TOO many Seabass, and TOO many just short of keeper status.

But Jim prevails during the 1st half of the morning.

Then later on we caught plenty. But this time...."I'm gonna share with you the BLOOPER reel, also."

Ended up being a fun day, with two great guys. The way it's supposed to be.

(I will fight kicking and screaming..."I'm not a party boat!!!!")

Contained here; The thrills of Victory, the Agony of defeat:

5/4 - 7:45am Mayport Jetties:

3 really great guys...current smoking....6 oz. of lead......

Then we went sharkin' on the beach. One bit off bait. Got Pogies for the 1st time this year. Came back to jetties, rising tide....BLUEFISH "Scourge" invasion, eating all the baits before they were on the bottom.

B-U-T, I had a complete "azz-hander" bite and handed it to big Mike. Have no idea what it was. As it just stroked him around the stern of the boat. "Jewfish? Shark?" who knows. But the tackle was tooooo
light for sure. Broke 40# mono leader after about 5 minutes.

Here's yer sign...."I should put out the solid glass shark rod, with Daiwa 9/0, and 300# wind-on leader with a 480 cable, and 18/0 circle hook?"

So I did, with a 3#  bleeding Bluefish. But no takers.  So afterwards we headed in....

5/2 - EBAY DEALS.......99% of the time!

I can't afford MSRP, or even the fuel to run around this town looking for what I need.
So, EBAY is my go-to place. Plus I earn money back on every purchase. Which is so cool.
And sometime I use the PayPal 6 months to pay on $100 plus items. It's a system that I have come to rely on to help me run my business, and keep my tackle addiction in the "cheaper" category.
