Some Day are Diamonds......

[Custom Canvas]

.....and some days are STONES.....Unfortunatly we had the latter today.....

With a Perfect forcast we motored away from our slip loaded up for a wahoo slaying. As we made our way into the sound i knew we were in for a treat on the sea conditions "SlickCam". As we made the inlet the stars were shining brightly and there was no moon. We could see the entire shipping channel out to the sea bouy.

With a 25kt ride out we had our first line in by around 725 we set out on about the 515 or so. On some scatterd grass. Nice looking spread and a planer pole.

First Hour goes by not a sniff....worked north hoping to get a bite.... working deep out to the 100 and beyond with hot hot water out there..... and back with out a sniff. WTF..... Lets do something different we pulled in the spread and set out the HIGH Speed rigs.... pulled three baits for around another hour with one bite and lots and lots of scattered GRASS....wanted to drop to the bottome out in the deep but 2knts of tide made that VERY tough.....By this time my buddy has put 3 hoos in the boat not very far away from us so we put the spread back out and worked that area no love....

By 130 i am ready to Jump overboard and give up....we went back inshore to try and get some Pullage for my about to DEPLOY neighbor... but we couldn't even find the jacks or much less get them to bite.....We tried and tried nothing....
finally put the spread back out and around 200 we get a nice bite on the planer pole and the 80wide growles nicely get the angler on the rod and a couple cranks and he's GONE!!!! MOTHERLESS SONOFA!!!! Re set the planer make a couple more laps in that area but by now the water temps are nearing 90degrees....wow. we had 81-82 in the am and by the afternoon we had 86-87 very hot water.... WE did catch one fish while clearing the lines to move inshore we always leave out the WWB out until last and its gets nailed pretty good..fight the fish to the boat and realize its a damn STINKY

finally moved inshore to some other numbers to be greeted with more TIDE 2 knts or more in places marked lots of fish on this new ground but no love.
IT WAS NOT OUR DAY!!!



All in all it was STILL A great Day on the water with good friends. And as pretty a day as I have seen all year....

Those are some beautiful conditions. Tough luck on the fish though. Like Jim said, get that out of your system before the Venice trip.

Thanks for the report!

Your day beat the heck out of mine. 1/2 day behind a desk and 1/2 day to collect money from a deadbeat retailer. See how much better yours was than mine.

See you next Friday in Lousiana.
