IT GOT VERY BREEZY AS WE FISHED, THE ABSOLUTE LAST MINUTES OF THE FALLING TIDE, FLOAT-RIG FISHING FOR TROUT AND HAD SEVERAL ''SHORTS', AND ONE KEEPER, AND THE SCOURGE OF SPRING TIME....''the bluefish attacks''.
OH YES. SPRING HAS SPRUNG. BUT NOT REALLY. WHEN THE SPANISH MACKEREL SHOW AT THE INLET. THAT'S TRUE SPRING FOR ME!
WE, HAD ZERO CURRENT PRETTY QUICK WITH A LOW AT 7:30am. SO WE MADE A MOVE OR TWO.
NEXT SPOT A FEW SHORTS, AND A COMPLETE ''AZZ-HANDER'' BIG REDFISH, TOOK ME...''YES, ME'' CAN YA BELIEVE THAT? AROUND A PILING. I HANDED THE ROD TO ROB, AND HE HAD IT ON FOR A MINUTE, THEN HE HANDED IT BACK TO ME AND THE FISH WAS STILL THERE.
JAMMED THE FLOAT-RIG SINKER INTO THE PILING. AND THE FISH WAS STILL FREAKING OUT.
THEN, IT SNAPPED THE 20# LEADER.
A FEW MORE ''SHORT TROUT'', AND THEN A DECENT KEEPER. BEFORE WE LEFT OUT FOR THE DOCK AS THE WIND STATED TO BLOW AT 1:00pm
JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ''BIG FISH'' TO THE BOAT LATELY.
ON SUNDAY AT THE JETTIES HAD A CUSTOMER HOOK INTO SOMETHING ENORMOUS, TO ONLY END UP BREAKING OFF.......A MONSTER BLACK DRUM (????)
HAD A MESSED UP COON AT THE BOAT RAMP THIS MORNING. IT JUST WALKED SLOWLY AROUND ACTING LOST AND BLINDED, KINDA.
COONS AT THE RAMP ARE NOT A USUAL SIGHTING.
FELT SORRY FOR THE LITTLE DUDE. IT ACTED SICK OR INJURED OR BLINDED.
AND WOULDN'T EAT ANY OFFERINGS WE TOSSED TO IT.
