September 9th, 2010, Spot, Spot, Spot, Spot that's the word for the rest of the month. If your not catching them and filling a pen for striper season you'll be buying them from me in October, November and December. Every day brings reports of thicker schools and in more places. Bill Lake was looking for some back bay Kingfish yesterday and never did find any, but every stop was greeted by the swarming baitfish.

I picked up my Brigantine 4-Wheeler pass and was on the beach yesterday, but the south wind had the ocean so mixed up nothing showed. I have had reports that they are there thick if you find them, I expect to be there tomorrow at first light when this west wind should have it flattened out and the spot should show where I can put the cast net on them. But if you have time to kill and break out the ultra-lite freshwater rods you can have a ball catching them on hook and line. All you need is a little hook, a sinker and a piece of bloodworm, or even fishbites artificial worms and a dock to sit on. If you have a couple kids of your own they will have a great time filling your bait pen for you. If you don't have your own kids or grand kids you might actually consider borrowing a couple because you will have fish and all the fun you can handle.

I am not really one to be superstitious, but I am a little hesitant to announce some great Guatemala News too loudly. I will say that La "Tijereta" is making its maiden charter voyage today under the expert command of Captain Gerald Jordan and first mate Sergio Alfaro. Capt. Dennis is joining the crew on the promotion end and hopefully will get lots of pictures which will be up as soon as they show here. So keep checking back to see how the trip works out.
