Default Banged 9 ov' 'em today..argh...

I went out with the normal crew. Me, myself, and I went to go get 'em. I had promised a friend a pair of 'em. She has family coming in Sat. a.m..

I has been National f' with Jimbo week. The Rockfish were clued into this too.

Long story short...got a 17 and one 1/2 longer in 50' near 84A. Winds kicked up good outta the SW....headed towards the 85A. Boated 7 more fish, had a hit-anda-miss, and lost one while trying to steer the boat. No auto-pilot sux.

I had 4 boat rods, I couldn't re-do the spread after it was set. I had 2'ers slamming me broadside.

The hit-and a miss came off a Storm-brella. ALL the other hits, and fish came off a tandem rigged white bucktail umbrella with twister tails, 20 oz. at 5 bars. The other 2 rods were untouched.

I guess, not bad being solo for 3 hours. Not skunked, but no 18"s.

Tight lines,
Jim

I wonder why "18" is the magic number. Messin' with anything under "18" will get you in a load of trouble.Did all you guys get along good today............Gary

Thumbs up

Jim,

Thanks for the same heads up at the shop. We swapped out an 8 ounce in line for a 12 on a 4/6" storm combo, and wanted to add an in line to a 4/5 oz 6-inch bucktail combo but didn't have the leader.

We got no knockdown trolling on Friday, and no joy chumming (lots of marks at Bloody), but the 12-inch croaks at the green can saved the day.

Thanks Again, and congratulations on the catching!

Don
