Carrabelle 4-16 & 4-17 overnight trip

[Sea Fox]

One of my good friends and I got to Cbelle on friday and loaded the boat with supplies and were catching bait by 3pm and got to the Yamaha in time to catch supper and enjoy a great sunset. The bites ended after dark until we put a red glow stick on the swival and it got a 150lb class bull sharks attention. It almost spooled a full 330GTI, the fight lasted around 30 minutes. Its cool when you have to lean back and use your body weight to fight the fish. A short time later another bull only a bigger one hit the same rod with the red glow stick, after that we had all we could take and turned in for the night. After a hot cup of coffee at daybreak I missed 3 good bites in row then got 2 nice gags witch woke my friend up. The bite seemed to slow arond 11. We did get another good 80lb reef shark on a flat lined pin. Lost a king at the boat and had one take my bait on the flat line then hit my float and try to take it from me. We had a great time but the next time Ill have comfort in mind alittle more, the floor in my boat is hard even with a thick sleeping bag.

Sounds like a good time..

Chalk, It was a very dark night with no moon, and we had a free lined pin out with a green glow stick attached to it. It looked like something out of a horror movie when we turn the lantern off. Seen alot of shooting stars also.

Be careful when you utter those words. I said that a couple of years ago and came home with a 30' boat . I said something like that the other day in front of my wife and I woke up a few minutes later in the corner with a red whelp on my head that resembled a broom stick.

That's good stuff man . Those glow sticks work out pretty good. Try this as well, take about two extra flats of whatever bait your fishing with and cut them into bite size chunks, throw out 4-5 pieces every five minutes. Free line a hooked chunk down with a glow stick and hold on.

I would think a bean bag chair or two would be cheaper than a 30 foot boat. The bean bags would have to suffice for me.

Sea Fox,
Sounds like you had a great time and everything went well with your overnight trip. I wish I could have joined you and parked Cuda"B" alongside. I'm thinking of doing the same, sometime in May or June, only out in 100ft! I hear the snapper bite is great at night by moonlight.
Kudos,

Fish Finder,

If you decide to do that trip, I'd love to go out as well. Might be we can do a board trip as you mentioned earlier.

Count me in on the 100ft trip if either of you plan a trip let me know.

Sea Fox & Geno,
I've got to get my radar looked at and have the running gear scraped on Cuda"B" and I'll be ready and waiting for the weather to get right. I hope to have those items taken care of in the next 2 weeks. Lets look at the second weekend of May and see if we get our schedules arranged. I know where some great coral bottom is, loaded with snapper & grouper within sight of S-Tower. I'll bring it up again on the forum around the first of May.

this one got a free lined pin

You caught that on a GTI345? Are you hooked yet?

From the looks of that picture you didn't have a shortage of lighting that's for sure.
