Well, Purple Cedar Plug got the message clear about replacing Mrs. Plug in the cockpit with a big hairy guy... She was back this morn and ready to rock... The whipping flags and palmfronds flappin the way they were, rockin would almost be a sure bet.![]()
I couldn't stand the thought of another half mile bone jarring run this morn so in a heaving inlet I laid the riggers down and had the spread going out before the first buoy. Birds were on flyers but this tight to the beach it was jacks and macks doing the pushing. As the slop was cresting in there I decided to give them a pass and dig our way out deeper...
At 145' I spotted a board. First pass dolphin. Second here came a sail. I've been working with a circle bait all week and concentrating on its use so hard I forgot it was a J that was on this rig. Just comming tight and reeling did nothing to set the hook. BAD DEEP! I yelled at my self and made me sit in a corner...![]()
More passes more dolphin. I took a range on shore and it was clear the current was flying. I figured it wouldn't be long before we made the Canadian border and with the slop that was cooking that early. I made the hard decision to leave the board and get back closer to the inlet if it got rougher. On the way back we found anther board and another dolphin.
After a long while we finally got back to our area that we had done so well yesterday. Flyers by the acres in there but nothing working them. A stray neeter bit was all we could muster. To our south the sky grew dark. It woyuldn't be long before a way out band of Olga would cut our day short.![]()
Bait started to move a bit. We raised a mystery bite and spirits stayed high. We stayed as long as we could then finally the weather closed out on us. The spread was dismantled, riggers lifted and as the forst raindrops hit the windshield the sticks were pushed up and the beach got closer.
Its been great having them aboard and look forward to having them back soon...
Mrs Plug with a couple momentos from her trip...![]()
