TARPON

anybody seen any silverkings yet?

They been around for few weeks, I know of few being landed from folly pier actually.

Saw some up at North inlet in Georgetown last week. No luck on any hookups other than huge blacktips. 6-8’ sharks are all over north inlet. Can’t keep a bait in the water.

Guns kill people just like spoons made Rosie O’donell fat.

Rumor has it I saw a boat next to me hook up with one last Wednesday. Jumped twice with gills flared and dancing. It appeared he was under gunned from a rod and reel perspective…not sure but he broke off. Secret spot known for explosives…

My problem today could be contributed to hook size. Trying to catch Bull Reds and a silly Tarpon ate my cut bait on the bottom. Jumped about halfway out of the water and spit/pulled the hook fairly quickly.

Down here is where a signature goes but they can confuse and anger some people so I don’t have one.

Revived one between the jetties today. Found it floating in the tide line. Pulled it along with mouth open for a while and it swam off. Had a tag in it.

That must have been one of ours. We revived it for about 10 minutes and kicked off just fine. Glad you got her swimming again, thanks. We released it about 1130am in between jetties. Tarpon were all over the jetties on Saturday but gone now. I saw 5 hooked in about hour and half

Wiggs lookyhyah at fishcall’s post

also, know that I am still zero for 2016. and all time for that matter.

I did see one gulp last week. and one freejumped 20 yards from my float last saturday. so that makes me better than you unless you got something i don’t know about.

my son said he launched two last week. and landed zero. but he lies like rug or Easy on a weekend bender. so take that for what it is

He learned from the best…

There was definitely something going on last Sat. and Sunday.

They were eating on Sunday a little farther to the north (Bulls Bay area). I hate to even say that I broke off two in 45 minutes. I opted not to submit a report and relive the misery.

Saw a carcass floating thru the Bulls Bay area yesterday afternoon. Only sign of a Tarpon I saw though.

Down here is where a signature goes but they can confuse and anger some people so I don’t have one.

I am to the point where I am literally watching a snail crawl across a straight razor.

Bonus points for that movie.

If you hook a tarpon, fight it, it comes off, but dies from exhaustion, and then somebody sees it, does that count as a catch. Pea Pod?

wiggs. apocalypse now i think?

also you seem depressed. you want me to have 23sailfish make you a cheery meme?

so i sat in the inlets yesterday from 8-11 am. top, middle, bottom. big & small live hadens & mullet-floated, freelined, and weighted. fished in bait, away from bait, in ocean, away from ocean. all i got was sharks. lots of sharks

i did see one breach when i was topwater fishin at sunup

this year feels alot like last year.

when my wife’s dowry comes in or i finally hit a scratchoff, i’m booking fishcall for a week so I can get an education.

lotta people out yesterday. a guy was swimming at the ramp yesterday behind an idling boat

or it coulda been deer hunter, one of those vietnam flicks. am I right?

You got it. Apocalypse Now. That’s when it became apparent the dude was clearly not in his right mind.

Every summer I chase those oversized mullet, and after every summer lose a bit of my mind.

I have a few in my freezer I keep as pets.

you dated yourself with that movie reference, I thought you were much younger

wiggs,

from the internets, fishcall landed 2 today and others in the past week

I’m suicidal, talk me down. or not

went 0-0 last week (weekday) seen stergon all over the place but got skunked on everything… water temps were at 90.5 not a shark or red to be seen… tried spoons in afternoon on the waterline with nothing…

maybe in the next few weeks ill try again…

Saw some off Morris Monday hitting the surface behind the breakers
