Carabelle 1/14

Post by tin can »

Tom and I went fishin yesterday. We caught grouper, sheepshead, flounder, seabass, triggerfish, and porgie. Oh yeah, Tom is now the toadfish king.

We had a very pleasant day on the water. :D We even saw, and spoke to Fishinfool30.

Thanks for the invite, Tom.
What was I supposed to do today?

Not really a whole lot of details. I got to go with Capt. Tom Stephens on sort of a "experimental" trip. We took live shrimp and hit a couple of the close in reefs and the O tower looking for sheephead. TC found the only one of the day. The bite was very slow all day, but the fish were on every spot we went.

Ask me how I know they were there.

Hey Tom:

I'm guessing you were using a camera. Which one (Make and model) does he use? Does he anchor or idle around to look? Is it hard to use? any other comments? Would you buy one? Which one, and why?

Thanks,

EJ

He has the aquaview. Not sure the exact model. It has a 120 foot cable and a digital temp readout from the camera. We used it on anchor. I always thought they'd be a pain, but this one was very simple to use. We had no problem dropping it down and it seeing probably 20 feet or more. When the current was light we could twist the cable in our fingers and spin the camera 360°. If I had the money for one I'd buy it tomorrow. Probably the neatest thing I've ever used on a boat.
