Saltwater Offshore Reports

Last weekend while hanging with the family all the Clarendon boys discussed a trip together based on the long range forecast. Was going to be EPIC!!

Then the forecast changed and the crew dropped faster than a pass from Cole Stoudt. Sailflow was calling for 15knts out of the NE and having been there and done that no one was feeling the love in our boats… So what is a man to do…

Call in the BIG GUNS!! Gave Billy Freeman a ring and wiggled my way onto the 37 Freeman, said I could bring 2 since there was only him, Swilly, and his Father inlaw. Called Phin, Two Sons, Rub N’ test, LnS, Pole Dancer, just to name a few all had other plans. Chunky was even ditching me to shoot a wood goat… But Chunky, it is wahoo and tuna! Arm was twisted and Chunky Dunk was on board. Tumbleweed rounded out the crew and 6:30 Saturday morning we pushed off!

Plopped down in the bean bag hoping to catch a power nap before we got into the nasty NE blow… Woke up as bully pulled the throttles back a the the hole! Well… That was quick!:smiley:

Chunky used his new Iphone 6 and made this video running 38 of the sun rise on the way out.

Lines in right off the bat we put two blackfin in the box on the troll! Marked the fish and since trolling was working so well we stopped to jig… Yea, I know…

5 rods go in, in no time 5 on!! Then they arrived… The very very large, very pissed off, hungry men in the gray suit (well in this case brown) and with in 30 seconds all the reels were hitting new octaves as we proceed to feed the sharks. Could do NOTHING with them! I am talking put reels in park and crank as fast as you could with all you had.

Chunky even broke his brand new rod.

That got old very quickly as we continued to lose fish, break off jigs, and reel in heads. So back to trolling!

BAMMM!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! Planer rod screams to life, I

We got lucky with a nice wahoo south and plenty of small dolphin on the same day. I’d take seeing that many sharks as a good sign. We didn’t see one and I actually took that as a sign we weren’t in the right area. Those bad boys know where the food is. Thanks for the report. Keep it up.

My # must be right in line after Tumbleweed. Wow I was close on the list that time. one of these days the Phone will ring! Too bad about the sharks but a good day to be on the water!We shooting at the end of Jan if you still interested!

If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.

Good report, glad I stopped at 80’ and just bottom fished and was back on the hill by 3pm, plenty of sharks inshore too fwiw.

Course I was in a much smaller vessel than you guys were.so we backed off our 120’ numbers.

Two sons and Phin prolly still smarting over the gamecock domination of theire mighty Acc brothers Miami hurricanes

Great reading, except for those Clemson jabs. Was the game on that new station, Wlos 35.17? Lol

The only thing that may exceed Scoutn’s fishing prowess is his story telling. Not un- true, but colorful. He follows a long line of story- tellers ,some of the best. But don’t cut him short.I heard him make a wise statement once: He said " I would be proud if y’all would say’ boys, it’s too rough today.Let ‘s stay home’."he was about 12 then.

You sure give some fine fishing reports :sunglasses:

:smiley::smiley: Nice come back!

I have enjoyed the past 5 years but the clemson fans are back. Not had much room to take jabs since the game so I figured i would throw a few in here.:wink:

Set the trap boys, we going to pass through them again!!

I’d post a report from yesterday down south but it would read the same, minus the trolling. Should have known when I got spooled on the first drop by a tuna turned shark.

Nice work.
