Today, i took Dr. John Capelle fishing. This is something that we do pretty regularly and have for 14 years. Usually we take his 35 Egg but today we decided to take the Free Spirit since he had a problem that might not have ben fixed in time. anyway, we set out around 7:15 and stopped on the wekies that are thicker than flies but small. i guess we caught 40 or so and kept none since they were all short. It is a blast on small metal jigs since we take the trebles off and use a single hook so that we don't tear the fish up when we release them. Works great and save the fish. Anyway, he mentioned that we were,"Catching a lot but not keeping anything." That is code for , "This is fun but i sure do like to eat fish. Do you figure we a can get some we can eat?" We ran off and hit some structure that I have saved on my CP. as soon as we got there he caught a double header of 11" fish. Still no eating fluke. I set up on more structure and the big ones started to bite. We had 2 at once and that made everyone smile.


By the time we were through, we caught probably 30 fluke and kept 14. That was 2 away from our limit but he decide that since it was the best day he ever had on these fish, that was enough. Heck, I didn't even have to troll for blues to get some meat.



It appears as if the fish are definitely on the structure and the fishing should get better and better. I can't wait! Give a call if you'd like to catch some of these great eating fish. I actually have a couple weekend dates open as well as 2 or 3 weekdays this month.
