Banana Breakfast
This morning I had Mike and company…. They decided to pay their deposit and not show up. Thanks for the free $100…… I called my afternoon trip and told them to get on down to the ramp. They showed up about an hour and a half later. In the mean time I ran out and caugth a couple drum.
John, Matt, Ed and Ed Jr. hopped on and we headed out. The wind was still nice and calm so we got straight to drum fishing. The first stop was a total bust – we covered alot of flat with nothing to show. Drifted over to one of my favorite little points, and nothing there either. Time for a new spot…..
Showed up at the next spot and we finally caught one! John puts a 23″ in the box. Shortly after Matt hangs into one, but it pulls the hook right at the boat. We moved back up the flat a little further and finally found some fish. We ended up putting our limit in the box. I thought Matt was fishing with a hookless lure, but it turned out he had eaten like 3 bananas for breakfast. It wasn’t red hot – but we limited out and went on to the next species.
By then – the wind had picked up to 15-20 and it was white capping pretty good. Tried a drift for flounder – and pulled up 3 throwbacks. Had enough of the chop and tried a couple spots out of the wind. No keeper flounder for us – so we headed back to the dock. Great crew today – we had plenty of laughs! I hope I can shake this head cold soon – its been kickin ‘my butt.
Thanks for checking Salt Minded Charters!
