Beach and bay report, all last week

Post by Atticus »

Got a whole week off last week, left Tally monday mornin early to fish SGI a little

Bottom rig went off left to right hard, then the fish ran towards me, then turned and pulled drag... what could it be???? A big honkin catfish :hammer:

Image

Then I got into some spanish with a chrome rattle trap / silver spoon / gotcha plug. This was the first fish on my new stradic

Image

Then I landed a bigger spanish which was 20 inches +, you can see where my hand was.

Image

Check out this beach cart my buddy made!!!

Image

Image

I wound up catching some of the biggest whiting I have ever seen and then when the spanish bite slowed down, the ladyfish moved in. It was all ladyfish and whiting for the rest of the day so I went and checked in at the rental house.

Then I went out with a guide from Indian Pass on Wednesday, we caught 33 keeper trout, kept 10. We also caught some bluefish and some more ladyfish. Largest trout was 22 inches.

Image

Image

Then on Sunday I went out with my buddies shark fishing.

Fish On!!!!!!!!!
Image

MY hands are getting tired!!!!!!!
We caught about 6 this size. Thats a real tattoo but its a totally different story. If any of you have kids that want to get tats, IM me and I will talk to them. I am sorry its even in the shot.

Image

Here is us wrangling another shark. Its hard to part with those Gamakatsu hooks ;-)

Image

The girls that were with us got into some smallish Jacks out there. They were having a blast tearing up those jacks on our ultra lite tackle. Then we kept a few of the jacks and ladyfish for bait :thumbup:

I want to hear the tattoo story. That is really not too bad for a prison tat. (JK)

Sounds like a great week. Who did you fish with out of Indian Pass?

I fished with Milton Tarpley out of Indian Pass, good guy, hard fishing all day non-stop for a reasonable price. We limited out in 90min

Tattoo story: Be 17, place Cuervo Gold bottle to lips and swig, repeat for hours, get nickname "Sharkey" tattooed on arm, wake up, laugh about it until you are about 23 :thumbup:

Dale- That is actually a cooler that looks like a battery

You get one when you buy the battery

I use it as a bait cooler for frozen squid and cut strips/chunks of ladyfish and jacks :thumbup:

Good report Atticus. Got beat to the question about the die-hard. Wondering if it took a battery that large to start your wade fishing wagon. :wink:

Good Job Luke! :D :thumbup:

Now... lets doll up that wagon .... how bout put'n doolies on the back with some mudder's ... maybe split rims on the front to give you a little more float... mount a pedestal seat in the middle and a bimini top over the whole thing... what'd think?? :o

Diehard power on a wagon - lights for night fishing, trolling motor re-rig for power in the powder sand, sparkly disco ball for the slow times, karaoke machine, radar, ham radio, linear etc.

I would put spinners on that bad boy!

Those are the rod holders I've been looking for! :roll:
That buggy's probably more valuable than my vessel.

What a great week, Luke.

The cart is missing the Bigbendfishing.net decal on both sides. Maybe you should consider it...
