Left the Stono Inlet at 6:00am.Ocean was better than expected. Found scattered weeds at 120’130’.Pushed on to 500 to 600’.Found scattered weeds. Started trolling and picked up a slinger. Nothing else for a hour. Picked up and headed SW and found some more weeds. Picked up 4 gaffers in 1 hour.Had a double hook up, set my rod down to gaff wifes dolphin.Went to reel my fish in and he spit the hook,I grabbed the popper and he went after it and I hooked him. He got off. Threw the popper again he took it again! He was hooked good this time. Took ten minutes to get him in. Nice 25 pounder. Wife and I took a short break after the fire drill. Started again nothing else until 30 minutes later the line starts screeming. Wife grabs reel and says its big! After a good fight she lands her first wahooooo.30 pounder. Fished two lines all day. Great day on the Freeman 29’(EXCEPTION}.
That’s a good day right there sir.
I’m slowly working my wife a little farther each year. I finally got her out to 100’ and she loaded the box with the biggest BSB she’s ever caught, added in a few triggers and now she’s ready to hit 100’ again. Just gonna take time to get her to the ledge and beyond.
Thanks Everyone. Still learning the ropes offshore. We have learned a lot from every ones offshore reports. Keep reports coming! Looking forward to the next trip…
