Dog Island 7-30-03

Post by wevans »

Wellllll, I messed up and took my nephew with me :o Wind and seas had increased by the time we got there but we went on out anyhow :thumbup: started trollin strech 30's at 35', at 38 foot over some excellent bottom, his pole dang near doubled over and I "like a dummy" let off the gas before he was set :oops: he did get ta feel a big fish pull drag for just a few, then he was in the rocks :( I told him ta set the drag a little tighter next time 8) Trolled on out ta 45' with no strikes, then saw the Spanish start bustin everywhere :thumbup: He trowed out his Spanish rig and I my Yozori. Nothin would touch his rig and my Yozori had all of its hooks broken on the second cast, them are some HUGE Spanish out there right now, most where about 5 to 6 miles out from Dog Island. As we couldn't get them to hit anything else and the seas had built up to 2' ta 3's, we headed in to Trout fish :wink: First drift produced an 18" Trout, then on the second drift the $#%&*&& cell phone of his rang and we had ta go "them thangs aint allowed any more" :x It could have been better and it could have been worse still a nice afternoon on the water with good company :thumbup: :beer: :thumbup: :beer:
