Chuck (aka, Angelique) always tells us we are the “bellys” going fishing. She will add up the number of people on the boat and that is the name of that boat. Much like whichever plane the President is in is considered Air Force one, we had the call sign today as the 4 Bellys (yes this is how we spell it). Well we probably have more fun in our Belly Boat than any of the presidents but that is another blog completely. So today we added another into the mix, Denny joined our merry band of anglers.
Far colder today, with less sunshine, more wind, stronger seas, you name it, there was worse of everything today than yesterday. But, we fish because we want to not because there are good days and bad days. We will leave the dock washer (people that have boats but don’t take them out) to themselves and charge on as normal. You can’t catch a big one or many of them on the dock making phone calls to see if they are out there. And no I am not talking about any of my friends so don’t start with me.
Anyway we headed out in Mitch’s boat from his dock at about sunrise. Did not take long to know that it was going to be a rough ride to the fishing grounds. I would say it was 2 solid feet with rough chop. It was far cooler today but we are here to fish so we did. Denny said we needed to find a better road home when we come back (Mitch complied and it was far smoother on the ride in).
We started out at R62 looking for the same group of fish but they were gone. The old saying of you can’t catch yesterday’s fish is as true as it comes. But, throughout the morning we did catch a lot of undersized fish that we threw back and two keepers.
Denny and Basil did a good job on deck and brought in the fish and rigs like they were pros. We were out there and the Captains boats were having as difficult a time as we had. Yesterday they were back at dock at 9:00, today some were still out there when we left.
