No Repeat... But 1 is better Than None

Got the call that Curt and his son wouldn't make it today. Promises made to Curts grandson involved a baseball game and too early of a start time for them to get back there and get some fishing in...

Me, being broke (and Cheap

) wanted to see if the sails were stacking in there like yesterday but didn't want to barf up a hundred bucks for a dozen live baits. So. I grabbed some retread hoos that I needed to get rid of anyway and went at it.
I heard the boys yapping about some dolphin out on the edge so I started there in about 110'
It was an all naked hoo spread with a few circles and a few "J" hooks. I found a couple dolphin but I also found that I still suck at getting them bowed up with circles... Though I have the billfish game down ok with them the dolphin is still a bit quick for me and my lame game. Three straight whiffs had me switch back to good ol 3407 J hooks.
Figures, the green death stopped biting.

I took the Deep back inside to the shallows and started whacking it hard. Flyers were going so I dropped a small lure to match the hatch in the spread . No go.... I was having a ball enjoying the bluebird day and comfortable temps when a lone ratty sail started batting the rigger around. I was on my game and the fish about as suicidal as they get. Bowed up and was disappointed to see it was even smaller than I thought. Came to the boat just green as hell unable to work any drag off the tld 25 I had him pinned to.

He was pronged in the top of the bill so at least I got my hook back. I was ready to put the spread back to work when my phone rang. Missus Deep was on her way to pick up Mini early from school as she has been battling the same kind of sinus crud that has been bugging me for a couple weeks. So home I went. Just made her some chicken sooop and gonna now take care of some stuff for the islands...
