this year vs. last year

I sure hope the trolling picks up off of Hatteras by Memorial Day week! Seems like last year at this time stuff was really heating up by now with gaffers and bills. Although there have been a few Blue Ones caught off Hatteras this year..

Pulling up a friggin reef donkey aint gonna cut it for me!

I have been watching all week waiting for the warm water to push back in shore. Looks like the Release had a better day on the gaffers yesterday.

Its coming. Just means the bite will be that much crazier when it does arrive! Dont ask me my logic behind that but thats my story and Im stickin to it.

is f&*king killing me. This is retarded. It's out there with the damn sargassum for gods sakes! When is the last time you saw sargassum stacked on the beach? It happens...but not often. Normally in the late fall. It will be ripped up in those eddies till its basically gone. It's time to stop calling it a "GULF DISASTER". You know those eddies you fellas hope and pray will get within range...THINK ABOUT IT
