STARTED THE DAY JIGGING UP ''GREENIES'' BY JIGGING UP DOZENS. AT THE END OF THE NORTH JETTY.
EASILY ONE OF MY FAVORITE BAITFISH. LIKE THESE WAY MORE THAN ANY ''POGY''. STRONGER, LIVE LONGER, SPEEDIER, FLASHIER!
TRIED STANDING UP IN THE BOAT WHILE AT END OF N. JETTY.....ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE. IT WAS ''SLOP CHOPPY'' TO THE MAX.
TOOK OFF TOWARD SOUTHEAST HOLE AREA AND DROPPED BAITS IN 38' OF WATER ON DOWNRIGGER AND ONE BEHIND THE BOAT 100 FEET ON SURFACE, FOR A KINGFISH.....???
SHRIMP BOATS WERE ALL OVER TO THE SOUTH, BUT WANTED TO NOT GET FAR AWAY, BECAUSE AFTER THE TIDE STARTED TO FALL GOOD, HAD PLANS TO FEED SOME BIG REDFISH A GREENIE OR TWO.
NO BITES TROLLING AFTER A HOUR OR SO.
RAN, BACK TO INLET AND DOWN RIVER AND GOT ON A SPOT, AND DROPPED GREENIES OUT JUST OFF THE BOTTOM, USING A LIGHT WEIGHT IN CURRENT. WHICH HELD THEM OFF THE STRUCTURE BELOW.
INSTANTLY........TWO BIG BULL REDFISH HOOKED UP.
LOST BOTH!!!!
BREAK-OFF'S, AND PULLED HOOKS.
NOT SURE IF MY ''CREW OF JUST TWO GUYS''. WERE REALLY PREPARED FOR A REAL LIGHT TACKLE ASS0HANDING! A RARITY IN THE SUMMER TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH 4 PEOPLE. SO I WAS VERY VERY HAPPY!!
BUT NOT HAPPY WITH THE LOST FISH. BUT, I'M NOT FISHING. MY CREW IS. ALL I CAN DO IS ''COACH''.
AS WE SAT THERE, ENDED UP LOOSING 5 MORE BULL REDS AT LEAST AND THE SMALLEST ONE, WAS THE ONLY ONE MY GUYS GOT TO THE BOAT!
31 INCHES 10 POUNDS.
WOW.....COULD HAVE BEEN QUITE EPIC. IF ALL WERE BROUGHT TO THE BOAT.
