The "Natural" WMO Report

[Trojan Joe]

Fished Monday in the Wilmington, had 2 Mahi in the box and practically ran over a white sunning himself. Jake (Overboard) and Rick (Baywolf) in the pit had an awesome spread out. The bite was on at 2-330 PM, we were heading west and water getting warmer, I turned and headed back to cooler water and as soon as we hit the west wall Rick worked hard to get the first one hooked, brought it in the boat, close but not quite big enough to bring back to the scale...release at 3:12 PM.

We layed Tuesday, went out Day 2 Wednesday and headed to the Baltimore. Worked the tip marking bait, started heading southeast and marked bait, I yelled down to Jake we are marking bait and bam we have one on, Rick reeled this one in and got the release. We still had 2 hours to go, but only picked up another mahi.

Final day we head to the deep, 1000 + fathoms; with a grander blue on the board and a 92 lb white we were looking for something big....so were 75 other boats working the same area. Found bait deep, started working that area hoping the Detroits would bring them up, after working that area for an hour, the Detroits did just that, a few minutes after I went over the bait, the Sea Splender followed and got 2 hook-ups.....well it is better a friend got the fish (I guess).

Overall, we had a fun tournament. Thanks to Rich who owns the boat, Jake and Rick for working the pit, Terry Jr., Terry Sr. and Rob. Everyone took on a role and worked together as a team.

It was good seeing Admin and he and his team did an awesome job bringing the action to everyones screen. Always good seeing old friends and making new ones.

I'll let Jake disclose his secrets (if he chooses). I will say a certain neighbors Squids worked well and holy "guacamole".

We'll get um next year.........Trojan.

My first WMO, what a week. The team was just awesome. Had a great time. Was good to fish again with Jake, we haven't fished together for the last 3 yrs. We had our shots just couldn't stick a big one. Joe you did a great job working the bait and getting us on fish. I am really looking fwd to doing this again next year.

Only after the work was done and on the ride home!

Rocksandblues: The Natural is a '62 Daytona 47 ft., She is a classic, rides nice and raises fish. The workmanship on this boat has lasted the test of time. Currently has Detroits in it.

[Baywolf]

A few 30 pacs died on the long ride home but not while fishing and never the day before fishing. She is a beautiful voat, the wood work is awesome and Rich has done a great job to restore her. Four of us spent the week on her, plenty of room and comfy. She rides loke a dream and calls in the fish.
