Arrived at the boat at 6:45 not expecting to see the large crowd, but here we were and nothing was going to stop us.
Headed to the scene of the crime and the reports are true...Extra LARGE BLUES.
Started off with a jig and daughter started with bait. Early bait was very productive and I switched over as well. We landed ~ 3 on bait and lost as many. Then another boat shows up casting jigs and catching:cool:
I switch to a jig and fish after fish. Daughter does the same and is hooked up with fish after fish. Jig out fishing bait in the afternoon.
At one point 1/2 the boat watches as I reel in my jig and a school of ~ 10 very LARGE blues are fighting for the rights to be caught boat-side.:cool:
Sun was hot and we were fishing in the sun and I noticed there was space on the other side with SHADE! Moved. While talking with the guys (father and son of perhaps 9-10) next to me I was told that they had not caught anything yet. Within a few minutes I am hooked up and give the rod to the boy who successfully reels in one of his first blues ever:)
I hooked another and gave it to the father but the fish came unbuttoned.
We managed ~10-12 fish between us and have sore arms.
MATES FIRST RATE AS ALWAYS, even managing to lip hook a few for release. A lot of regulars on board today that I have had the pleasure to fish with before including Cloudflyer, Don H., and Dave L.
