3/7 - Ain't outa the woods yet!

March weather couldn't be anymore TRANSITIONAL!

Hell, I was just writing my forecast for the Websites Home page and it happened! We went from hot, to cold in a matter of 12 hrs?  80 one day 40 the next?

We ain't outa the woods yet, folks. Not till MAY.

Had the boat sitting at the dealer since Tuesday. From what I gathered via my internet investigations is I have a failing o2 sensor on the 250 Suzuki. It throws up a code and a warning sporadically.
So Tuesday, Weds., Thurs., Friday it sat there, and I told them I'm picking the boat up on Friday no matter what!

Saturday charter, Monday charter. And no other way to pay the mortgage!
Then the winds are supposed to be so high on Saturday, we already re-scheduled till Sunday.

I get there (Boat dealer) Friday around 1pm and they say, "Yep, it's the o2 sensor." But they are back-ordered. We'll have one next week. Which means yet another long drive across town....in between fishing days.

Every outboard I have owned since back when I had a Yamaha HPDI 200 2 stroke, thru Honda's and now the Zuki has problems with o2 sensors. What's up with that? Is it because of pollution Bull Shit?
"OH, MY OUTBOARD IS PUTTING SO MUCH SMOG IN THE AIR...again. BULL SHIT!

What's up with the billowing black soot smoke I see pouring out of every Tug boat and ship on the river. And don't get me started on the United States Navy!!!!!  Did ya'll know they had a fuel/oil spill inside the Navy Basin not long ago of 25,000 gallons? But according to the NAVY they caught it all and it wasn't a big deal.

Who are you going to trust? The US Navy? I certainly wouldn't. They are huge polluters.

Here's some Retro photos of BEFORE and AFTER, the building of Blount Island, and cutting that straight line thru Mill Cove. Huge destruction!  That everyone has totally forgot about.

3/2 - Jacksonville Fishing; "FOGGY JETTY TROUT"



Hit the river with a float freak......ANDY. The bearded fella. 100% FLOAT FREAK and good at it.
Left late, around 9:30 and fished the last of the falling tide in the river and it was D-U-L-L
catching a too many "shorts". So we then hit the jetties, and waited, and waited and waited some more for the tide to turn, and then as usual it was a higher water bite.

No Reds, No Sheeps, No 3" Seabass, nothing except SPECKS.
(The perfect fish)

Would have been nice to have some diversity. But I was glad we got into what we came for.
Targeted species, at least.

There's sooo many "dink" trout around. That ya gotta take a butt load of live shrimp, so when you do find the nice keepers, you still have enough bait.

SUPER PLEASURE to have such a "float freak" like my new friend Andy aboard the Jettywolf.

I love getting float freaky....."Do You?"

Then, C'C'mon and book your March date. (they are gonna get bigger and badder you can bet on that.)

It's all about jus' having fun.

I'll teach ya the "Trout catchin' chicken wing flapping dance". It's all the rage.
