Drifting for Kings, July 3...

Never tried drifting and chumming for kings until yesterday…Got sort of tired of the crew saying what a nice day it was. We had a great chum slick going but nothing and I mean nothing showed up. Ocean looked dead. Oh well, you never know until you try.

Several high points during the day…caught squid on the sabiki, caught a 4 pound sheepshead while throwing for mullet, got the Full Monte (so to speak) of a 5 guy road trip to St. Thomas (more then I wanted to know), ran out of space for the empty beer cans, established two new nicknames. Fun day.

reelly…

Almost forgot, when the Aquarium Bait Boat returns to the dock empty handed you should just pack it up and head home. This is the crew that gets menhaden for the aquarium fish…they looked all over yesterday and found 0 pogies.

reelly…

The good news is that we did get 20 cannonball jellies that will survive the propeller festival in the harbor this weekend are now swimming happily on exhibit!
