Ran east into some creeks. Water was gin clear. The skies cleared and the sun came out. We saw about 15 - 20 reds today up in the creeks but they were very skiddish. Took out like scalded bandits. Looked over and saw Mook and Mojo working the creeks to the east of us. Mook, that was us in the bass tracker you saw as you were coming out into the bay. Nice boat Mojo.
Dad hooked up on a red in a creek mouth but the leader failed almost instantly. I think I got a bad batch of Berkley Vanish fluorocarbon leader.
The knots were holding. It would just break. I almost lost a spoon today like that. The leader broke while I was casting. I was able to retrieve the lure with my net. I"ll be chunking that leader. Highlights of the day:
1) First time we've been skunked in two years.
2) Got to break in my new Curado 200 and Calcutta rod.
3) Beautiful weather and water.
4) Good time with Dad.
5) Meet family at The Seinyard and had the flounder. If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.
We'll get em next time.
time...no dice. We had about the same fishing experience as you guys. I got a lot of hits on the Johnson again, but no hookups. Only hookup of the day was on a urine-colored Mookbait, but I choked and lost it.
