Took a run to the 60 on a picture perfect Sunday to look for Spadefish.
We were able to net a few jellyballs at the reef, and hung them on a coat hanger to lure the Spades to the boat.
Alas, all we caught were Ringtails. A lot of them. As for Spades, a couple made one pass, and moved on.
Barracudas could be to blame. And Sharks. They were lying in wait just under the boat.
I keep a log book, and exactly one year ago June 29, we boated 12 Spades at the identical spot.
Only two boats at the reef. And none at the 40. Odd.
Tally for the day:
30 Ringtails;
2 Remoras;
1 Bolivar Belicoso Fino (Havana).
