6/5 Carrabelle

Post by Second Chance »

Headed out of East Pass about 7:30 noticed the low dark cloud about seven miles out. Seas were smooth, no rain, no wind, and no lighting so I didn't worry much about it. Got closer to the cloud line and my son pointed out a water spout about two miles to the West. Ran under the cloud line and watched as two more touched down behind us in the next fifteen minutes :o Got to the Yamaha with only one other boat there. Let a couple of my trout fishing buddies from North Georgia play with the AJs for a while. I always love the look on their face when the AJ eats and then slams them in the corner of the boat :-D Headed over to O tower for more bait and fed a 3lb blue runner to one of the resident barracuda. Got one jump out of him before he cut the steel leader. Ran to a couple of numbers and rounded out the box with three gags to 15# plus a couple of snapper around 7#. Everything caught on live bait. Smooth ride back in and then got boarded by the Coast Guard in the river. All my safety gear was in order so I got a copy of the inspection to keep. Very professional and polite young men :thumbup: Cleaned up the boat and finished up the day with raw oysters and cold ones :beer:

Good report SC, I hope to be out there next weekend. The clouds with multiple water spouts can go somewhere else though. 8)

Here is a picture Reel Country took from My boat while gathering bait Sat morning. We saw three before we got out of sight of the sea buoy.
