Working and fishing too much to write. How can work get in the way of fishing, well I am no richer now than I have been so I still keep going. My work is great and I love doing it but it all too often gets in the way of good fishing weather.
Ok, so to catch you on my fishing adventures. The week of Dec 12th was a very good fishing week but nothing stood out. It is shameful that going and catching nice keeper size fish (but not extraordinary) becomes mundane. We went out every day, the wind held and caught limit every time. Terrible to think of that is not newsworthy but all of the fish were about 21 -24. We didn’t catch the big one.
Road runner and bottom bouncing is a new lure and method we have been working on and it has its place in your arsenal. I’ll give it its own page that maybe will come out one day this week if the wind blows. The road runner for us has been productive and we caught multiple on that rig so definitely add it to your box.
Friday, Mitch and I went on his boat and our friend Dave went on his with his son and son’s friend. The Dave group had gone on Thursday and just crushed them. We got out to the NNK reef just before Dave did and we both trolled just east of the reef and maybe just a bit north of R62.
The FISH, we were about a ¼ mile from Dave and I could hear screaming. I was looking intently to make certain they were not in distress. Boy anything but distress, they had just landed a 46” fish. Dave called to confirm the size limitations and asked me to look again. I get it he had the fish of his life on deck but let her go as expected. Dave, now that is the fish.
Saturday a bunch of friends chartered Capt Jack Frazier. We were headed down I expect to the cut channel but he saw a massive amount of birds just east of the incredible line of fish nets. He was not a fan of heading over there but since I had just been there the day before and others with great eyes we spotted for him a path through. Wow, just wow, we had our limit in about 15 mins. So quickly we were able to regroup at the house and we all went back out in our boats.
We had Ron on the Top Seacret, Dave on Playing Hooky, Vince, Mitch, and me on the Mytical River. We all got into them so it was a great day.
