Hit end of the incoming this AM minutes from ramp. Had bag frozen mullet i had netted couple weeks ago and was figuring id get a good neighbor of mine on couple fish since he hasnt been fishing in a bunch a years. He was so happy to just be on the boat which was great to see. Well we anchored up and got both the lines out and within 5 min fish on and the fight was on … He fought that fish with smile from ear to ear. get that one in and other rod bent over…told him to grab it …big bend but lost it on top of water. This went on for next 45 min with friend landing 10 fish all 27 to 29 inches except for the 1 i landed at 24 inches. All fish caught on cut mullet heads…tail pieces werent getting much attention. fish finder with 3-5 ounces weight. circle hooks. released all fish. most hooked right in side mouth with 2 in throat …cut them at leader. Excellent couple hours on water. and always love seeing others get some fish. woulda liked a keeper for him but take the action. Tried to explain to him thats majority of time its not this easy. Dont know if he believes me. LOL
Funny, you take someone out for their first time and meet with that kind of success. they naturally think that every trip is like that one. Wait til he gets the skunk. Then he will have experienced the highs and the lows of fishing. Good on you for taking him out!
