Title: 8-25-07 --Rocks
Post by: salty pig on August 25, 2007, 06:05:15 PM
Well I finally made it to the Rocks. left around 630am and REAL thick fog. Couldn't get gps to work said antenna short-- cleaned off the plug and Wham it worked fine.-- so i faught my way to the rocks--OH and GPS when you plug route in does NOT direct you around  Ummm lets say the Navy Pier!!--So I get to the rocks and my GPS  again Doesnt have the map  part in it for the rocks (gotta add it ltr). Anyways I fish the "PARKING LOT " and I try  a Hi-Lo rig -- Zing snagged Joe wasnt kidding I stopped counting rigs and sinkers after 10.

   Caught 1 keeper and TONS of shorts 8"-11" everytime i dropped the line in 2 bags of spearing and 1 bag of nuts. After losing 5 rigs I just made my own like Joe said and did better. End of day I got 1 keeper sea bass and a 18" fat fluke cant wait to eat the sea bass really white meat on those but not alot of meat.
The Fluke had several weird things on it they were 1/2 size of an eraser with a V at one end and they  came off the skin real easy. reminded me of the sucker fish wonder if it was parasites. 5hrug

Hi Salty.  I didn't hear ya calling.  I would have answered if I did.  What channel did you call on.  I monitor 10 and 16.

Sounds like you had a good exploratory trip today.  Keep getting out there and you will hook up.  You can't stop bringing a lot of rigs though.  That part never gets any better.   TT^

You better check your radio Salty.  I don't do 68, I do 10.  Could be why I didn't hear you.  Maybe bleed over?
