Hey All,
Due to time constraints on my day, I couldn’t spend a full morning trolling. However, from most of the chatter I heard on the radio, it seems like I would not have had much luck anyway had I decided to go out there.
So, I took my Dad and two boys out to the Fred Day Wreck on the recommendation of a very well known fisherman. We showed to the parking lot that is also known as Remley’s. I’ve never been to a local boat launch, on a Saturday, with a forecast like that, just before day break. That was a sight, let me tell you.[:0]
We finally got our turn to put the boat in, despite the guy just before us whose motor would not turn over, taking up the entire right side of the slip. We helped push him over to the other side of the dock, get our boat in, and off we go.
We find the Fred Day, and we are the only boat there. I ran over the wreck a few times, marked it, and tried my best to set up upstream of the current. First attempt had us right over the wreck. Lost three rigs right away. Hauled up anchor, or should I say my Dad fell over pulling the anchor up as it popped off the bottom. Funny and scary all at the same time.
Repositioned the boat and proceeded to keep fishing. The action was slow and we really didn’t see much. Lot’s of stolen bait and me and my father running around setting the boys up with their poles.
Total for the day was.
1 Shark
1 Remora
3 Black Sea Bass
3 Bank Sea Bass
2 unidentified
I need help with the unidentified ones. Here they are.
This one had the teeth and pectoral fins of a Sheephead.
Not sure what this one is called either.
This is the Remora. I got all excited watching it come up because I thought at first it was a Cobia looking straight down in the water. Then I saw the stripes on the side and my hopes were dashed. However, it made for a cool catch being we’ve never seen
