Burnt a Quick Dozen...

[Deep C]

The game was supposed to be kings. I shut her down in 90' and the water was already crystal clear gorgeous. Too gorgeous. I could see bottom structure all the way to about 110 feet and that meant the kings would see that wire leader just as easily. We did start with a wahoo bite then a king did find the one mono rigged gog that I had to offer.
The phone kept ringing on my peoples phones. Something about snow what ever that is. My guys didn't seem to care. They were focused on staying cool in the 80 degree weather and dealing with some of these...

We picked the well down to just a few. Curt and son both really wanted kings so I continued our quest. With the last three baits we had out I got into about 59 feet of water a quarter mile out the inlet...
The back bait got aggitated and then I saw purple. First one then three more on the flat line. Then the whole damn place was a sea of slashing bills and sails popping up and down.
The long fish bowed up as others fought over the other baits. Shear pandemonium. I think I could actually hear the screams from the gogs "OH shit!!!! Sails!!!!!" One bait swam around the hooked fish's line and hung in mid air with a pack of sails all sticking their heads up before one finally nailed it. Somewhere in the foam the third bait had been gobbled. As lines came tight fish were running into them. Jumping fish all over and we couldn't tell which was on what. What I could see though was that the hooked ones had formed a world class braided knot... :
One by one all three sticks stood up and the ocean became blue again...
I looked in the well and the cupboard was bare. It was time to go but tomorrow we'll be back at it...

Betcha you ain't even thinking about the word "quit" now huh?
Good job my friend, damn pretty work. Sails 1/4 mile out of the inlet. Won't happen in NC till August/September and they won't be that thick either.

You need live for the slime thing kings round here... At $100 a dozen... Thats the customers option. They wanted action basically and figured the kings would be quickest way to burn em up. A couple misses, dolphin and sails took care of the action today...
Asfor quittin. Fishin aint on that list...

I would have given anything to have a camera running when that pack of pointy ones showed up. The water was gin clear, it was warm, you could see the bottom even. The pack at one point had maybe five in the center and then three cicling them and another three back doing the war dance around that center bait. Sometimes you see them flipping sails but all of these ones were flipping em up and down. Then the center pack all sticking their heads out to get at the suspended bait was just awsome.
For me it was a home run but Curts son really got in a frump that we didn't get atleast one out of it. Hell you can go all year and not see a sight like the one we saw today...
At Chub we get clouds of whites raise like that darting all over, six lines bouncing ,going down and just nuts for a few seconds...
