Moriches After Dark



Capt Chris Burin with Big Bass Monday Night 10-18-2010

Sorry for the Bad Pictures but my camera doesn’t take good night time pictures.

Yesterday Afternoon Good Friend Capt.Chris calls me and says, whats up with the fish? I tell him Dave and I had them real good in the AM, I bet they will be biting there Heads off tonight I say 8 to 9 PM. Capt.Chris says, Really? Lets GO! I tell him I only have 6 eels and I am tired from AM trip so I can’t stay out late. No problem Capt.Chris says I was working hard all day and besides I have to be home to watch Dancing with the stars . We both laughed and said yeah lets not jinx ourselves, lets just go and wet a line, oh yeah in joy the night air .

So I met Capt.Chris at the Secret Dock with my eels and we pushed off 8:30 pm… When we got to the inlet there was 12 boats drifting all ready and I told Capt.Chris to go where we had them in the AM. No sooner then we start our 1st Drift, Capt.Chris says Oh yeah I’m on!!! He lets the fish run a little then sets the hook!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! Goes his 40 Year old T.S.S. rod and reel combo. Whats a T.S.S. rod and reel you ask? Well TSS was and old store kind of like Modells today. Sold a little bit of everything and this is what Capt.Chris was fishing with LOL!!!

The Rod and Reel Performed falwlessly and I reel up fast and grab the Net. When the fish gets close I say to Chris, OMG!!! THAT WON’T FIT IN THIS NET??? I grab the Leader and try to guide the Big Cow into th net. ****!!! It won’t fit!!! Good thing I had these new gloves on they are water proof and have a really good grip because I grab the fish in the mouth SQUEEZE REAL HARD and swing her into the boat

YES MISSION ACCOMPLISHED on the 1st Drift!!! Now we look at the fish and she has a Remora on her. Whats a Remoura? A Remora fish attaches itself to other large eating fish and eats the scraps from the larger Fish. Heres what the Wikipedia says about Remora’s.

“Remoras are commonly found attached to sharks, manta rays, whales, turtles, and dugong (hence the common names sharksucker and whalesucker). Smaller remoras also fasten onto fish like tuna and swordfish, and some small remoras travel in the mouths or gills of large manta rays, ocean sunfish, swordfish, and sailfish.

The relationship between remoras and their perfect hosts is most often taken to be one of commensalism, specifically phoresy. The host they attach to for transport gains nothing from the relationship, but also loses little. The remora benefits by using the host as transport and protection and also feeds on materials dropped by the host. There is controversy whether a remora’s diet is primarily leftover fragments, or the feces of the host. In some species (Echeneis naucrates and E. neucratoides) consumption of host feces is strongly indicated in gut dissections.[4]For other species, such as those found in a host’s mouth, scavenging of leftovers is more likely. For some remora and host pairings the relationship is closer to mutualism, with the remora cleaning bacteria and other parasites from the host.”

And heres my Pictures of it.

Remoras Fish

Remora or Suckerfish

The Remora attached itself to Capt.Chris

In the picture above the Remora attached itself to Capt.Chris’s Hand. This did not hurt him for they don’t have any teeth but it did creep Chris out a little for it wouldn’t easily come off LOL !!! I said to Chris well now your going to have to keep you hand in a big bowl of salt water where ever you go LOL!!! But it finally let go and we sent it back to go find another host.

Ok so we went back did 4 more drifts and produced 3 more fish . Each of us caught 2 a piece and we decided to head in for we limited out and did not want to miss Dancing with the STAR’S ahahahahahahaha!!!
