Went out with Charlie, Katie, and Sarah for a quick morning Spanish Mackerel day. My gosh is it hot right now, the heat index is reaching 108 with a dew point of 80 deg and climbing. The water is the only place to be so we went trolling just outside our Whays Creek and headed east to the bay. It is amazing just how much cooler it is fishing than cutting grass 🙂
Well we had a very good day, we hooked a bunch and ended the very short two hour trip with 5 keepers. Spanish are notorious for getting off before they get to the boat and today was no exception. Charlie driving the boat with Katie and I trying our best to get them in. Sarah was just too relaxed in the front to go through all of the stress of reeling these guys in. She was a very good sport but was just content to smile and point to the rod as it hit.
We hooked I would estimate 10 but at the end we got 5 in but most were very good size. Maybe another time when they have more time we can get everyone in the game. The color of the day was silver and silver with green flashing. We teased Charlie that his leader was so long that we were fishing west of the mississippi. He just said it was working so there.
Always fun to get people out on the water and get a few fish in the boat. I had a good time laughing with everyone which is what the game is all about.
