7/1/05--Panacea

Post by Eerman »

Headed out at about 7:30 this morning with my dad who is down for a couple of weeks. Thought everything was going to be on early as the fishies were jumpin'. Large schools of macks and ladyfish. We were able to hook into a couple of ladyfish and loose a few lures to the macks. Unfortunately, no steel leader to be had onboard. Moved a little further inland and landed this nice 19 incher.

I was also able to land a few shorts. Dad also was able to land a few this size.

Really slowed down when the temp heated up and the tide started to hit its peak. Did have some excitement when a couple of VERY LARGE :o tarpon swam nearly under the boat. Couldn't get them to even think about taking anything as they were in cruise mode. Something else very large jumped near the boat; but, didn't get enough of a glimpse to identify it. I could tell it wasn't a porpoise; but, other than that no idea. Looked like Chris Farley doing a belly buster. Fished everywhere from Piney Island to Patty's Island. A few thunderstorms and showers started popping up about 12 and we took off. All in all, a slow but good day. :thumbup:

Eerman, That's OK about the shirt. I guess it's proof that you need to dress like an English dude (sorry Cran) to catch good fish.

When the girls and I were out Monday around the roost, we had a sea turtle playing around us. The first couple of times we didn't know what is was and it left a BIG boil after it went under. Finally got a look at it - found out that it wasn't Jaws....

It must have scared all the fish off since we weren't catching much... or it could have been just the old t-shirt thing...
use your opportunities ...
