Did you ever have one of those days were you would have been better of staying in bed? That was me Thursday afternoon...
We get to the spot and some friends of ours were just leaving it... They stopped by to tell us they did well and the fish seemed to favor the green crabs and I had white... Oh well I'm sure they'll still hit the whites right?
I knew anchoring would be tough with hardly any wind and no real current to speak of and was thinking to myself "what I wouldn't give to have a spot lock trolling motor like those guys had"
Took a while to find out which way we were going to lay since the drift was practically non existent and what little movement we had seemed to be in circles. Finally thought I had it figured out, ran back over the piece and a little further to drop the anchor so we'd hopefully set back on it, hit the windlass switch and nothing... Reset the breaker, nothing.. Try pulling it out by hand but it was stuck..
Oh well since we're here and there's practically no drift might as well try and drift it.. Not happening and all we did was manage to dwindle down my jig supply.
About an hour into this the fog moves in and there are working boats in the immediate area sounding their fog horns....
Enough was a enough, put the radar on, at least it worked and took a slow cautious ride home hoping we might see something harassing the bunker on the way home but that was not to be either...
Some days you're the bug and some days your the windshield
