Reggie, Ted and Christian went early with me. The livewell was full of frisky pinfish and you could just tell it was going to be a special day. After filling one of the boxes with triggers we decided to move a bit in search of different fish.
We moved south about 15 miles and anchored up. Just as we were getting the baits set for the first drop I noticed a boat coming in on us. We were the only boat as far as I could see and of course they pulled up to within 100 yards of us and put lines in, nice.
Ted is known for having a bad temper. Add this situation to the fact they he broke off 2 good fish and broke his rod already and I knew tensions were high. Since they stayed down current/wind of us, Ted decided to send them a floater. Well having read Skinnee’s post a few weeks ago about the remora and the turd, I just chuckled to my self and dropped my chicken rig back in the water. This is when it happened. My personal best, I’ve never seen it done or heard of it being done:
A DOUBLE HEADER REMORA, what more can I say, incredible day!
Can you give me the numbers for that spot and let me know what you had for dinner the night before so I can try to match your spectacular feat. Actually, looking closer at the pic, unless you had squid for dinner I think you might have cheated!
I can’t even imagine what the other boat was thinking if all the paper floated by them. They probably thought you guys were trying to create a weed line and started pitching at it in hopes of a mahi!!
Told ya! Those remoras are the yorkshire terriers of the ocean… Get a good turd slick going and they get all fired up!!! I haven’t pooped in 3 weeks. I’m saving it up as bait for that next state record fish. Hopefully I can get out there soon…
I feel really sorry for the person that tried to make a meal out of them for the first time only to find out it was a bad idea.
Phin, if it weren’t for that pickle (which almost suggests it was served instead of buffet), I would have sworn that your avatar looks a lot like Dukes BBQ in Walterboro.
