After a long fluking season with the fam. and a month of dry dock...IT WAS TIME TO GO! I knew they were ready for OCTO-SeaBass! Had a plan to stay close to shore with the NW wind and pray that the Mrs. would not give the U-Turn signal to me. The BOYs were hyped and wanted to fight for the top spot on our LEGO Leader board (Its a family thing). So we broke SRI at 7am, SNOTTY CONDITIONS but doable. Got to the snags, threw the wreck hook. Minute later were dragging the hook, added more cable ties to the top of the chain, tried again. NO DICE, got the 1/4' ties out, put three on. Tried for the third time, and it frickin pops again:eek:. Had to put the shackle on the top and say my good byes to my wreck anchor. Wind was a stiff 25-30. What was I thinkin????:confused::confused::confused:
As soon as we come tight, double header..by the Mrs, then the boys join in. We were using 8oz, some gulp, clam and squid. The Mrs. lands a first ever 3lb Trigger. What a day it was, steady pick, but a bit choppy. Saw maybe 6-8 private boats out there. Ended the day with my same wreck anchor, 25 biscuits and a Trig. The day was PRICELESS! :D
