Had kind of a slow day out there yesterday. The biggest plus was the ocean was laid down all day except for the one wave that Jerms somehow found just outside of the jetties to cover the captain sound asleep in the beanbag with spray. I needed to wake up anyways.
We truly had an allstar crew yesterday with Jerms’ Warfare, Stretch “Shut up Paul” Armstrong and Flats “I don’t ride the Short Bus” Caster. Good stuff. It had the makings of an epic day. It did not turn out to be so.
Left Wappoo around 4 and had lines in around 6 in 150’. Also, we need to start heading out there earlier…the sun was coming up at 4:25 and it most likely would have been prudent for us to be trolling at that time. It was plenty light enough to see out there. As Jerms was letting the second line out, he had a small bull come up and strike before he could even get the rod in the holder and got the gaff in him and threw him in the box. High fives and woo hoos persued. Good start. Dolphin in the box at 6:05. Can’t beat that. FlatsCaster sighted two cows sitting under a tiny little piece of weed as we trolled by them, but they didn’t appear to be hungry. Being the incredible dolphin slayer that I am, I put the boat in nuetral and let the baits drop down for a few seconds and then put the boat back in gear and sure enough, one of those cows couldn’t stand it and ran up and inhaled the outrigger bait. Into the box she went. Trolled an area of decent bottom around the Royal Terrace area for a few hours getting bit a few more times and put two more dolphin in the box and missed a “toothy” critter on the planer. Most likely a cuda, but since no one saw it, it was a 100 lb wahoo. No doubt about it. All this was before 8AM.
It was going to be a decent day right…nope. Kept trolling and trolling and with no bites other than an AJ, we decided to pick up and run the ten miles or so to Edisto Banks. FishNMistress says that they are going to stick around the terrace and to call if we start doing better on the coreys. As
That Short Bus guy was a little goofy…we had two “encounters” with them, both oddly predictable, if you know what I mean. I did exactly the opposite of what I should have done and was correct. Weird how some poeple’s mind works.
You could tell just by looking at their eratic pattern and trolling speed of around 10 knots.
I am now obligated to post one of these in every single report now…
What you need to be obligated to do is print out what I’ve told you twice about adjusting your sonar settings so you can see what the little black fuzz on the bottom reelly might be a little better.
I totally dropped the ball (literally) on getting with you Saturday night so you’d have a poly ball and ring to float your anchor with yesterday. I apologize, and I hope you rigged up something like a 5 gallon bucket with a lid on it and/or some dock bumpers. Then again, you probably just made Stretch pull the anchor every time didn’t you?
5 dolphin is not bad; you are just too used to backhanding those cows like your independant contractors on Spruil Ave…
I want to know why there is not a pic of a mahi-cow-rado with a yellow headband on.

He’s getting a handfull of bank sinkers next time he gets close.
It was hot, and the fishing was slow, but still had a blast!

OK, so it looks like imageshack doesn’t want to work right now. Standby…

Trust me, while your pinned down taking enemy fire and you call in for air support and you hear a jets afterburner crackin the air overhead would be the most liberating sound you could ever ask for. I haven’t experienced that first hand in actual combat, but I have trained in a similar scenario where it still makes the hair stand up on your body.
I loved that scalpgaff Jerms “not an ounce of meat was harmed in this landing” Warfare

I talked to Captain of the Short Bus, he doesn’t recall such a incident…and since when did you boat become a commerical frieghter? A simple “we are anchored” shout out is all it takes, if that is what really happened. You didn’t clearify his oncoming bearing relative to anchorage. If it was from behind, he wouldn’t of been able to tell you are anchored.
Don’t throw crap and how many of those Amstel Lights did you have? You weren’t wasted and needed a nap from those things? I guess it was the 2 or 3 AJ’s…how many again?
The sun comes up around 5:25 am…good story have another chick beer.
