C'belle 5/28
Posted: May 31st, 2005, 4:58 pm
Got a early start and headed out of the river about 6:45. Stopped at a couple of spots behind DI but, only managed about a dozen and a half pinfish. Stopped at the bouys and quickly got two dozen hardtails. Now my crew consisted of my son and three of his college friends. Two of which had only fished the East coast and trolled for dolphins/sails. They wanted to catch their first AJ since they had read that AJs pulled pretty good
. Thirty minutes later we are the only boat anchored on the Yamaha. Baits go down, AJs show up, and for the next two hours there sure is a lot of grunting and groaning going on
We kept four between 30"-36". By 10:00 my crew had had enough of the reef donkeys and we headed out past O tower. Stopped at a couple of spots in 80-85' and got no show. This was the first time I had looked at these spots since the storm. Ended up the day in 95' and put three red grouper, 21"-23", in the box along with a couple of red snapper @ 18". Started back in at 1:30 just as the afternoon sea breeze got going. Passed a pontoon boat about a mile north of " O" and he was headed south
Perfect day on the water with my son
