Friday 5/10 we had Dave's crew of 4, Tj and Evan out to live line some bass. Broke the inlet early and saw bait all over, but very hard to get. Managed to snag enough and left to go fishing. BOOM! Fresh water pump on the motor goes and blows all anti freeze out! Uh oh. Limped in as far as we could make it but the anti freeze could not stay in the engine. Made a call to Capt Bill of Savannah Ray, that kind fellow gave us a quick tow (since we were outside the inlet) to APs Marina. Ran to the store got the new pump and anti freeze. Mate Darren did his "engineering" and we were back in the game by 11:15am. But, most of the bunker were dying.
Round 2 the bunker were thicker and we were able to snag them much quicker. Again we had enough bait and went fishing. Stayed local and threw the livies out and almost immediately had blow ups, up on the surface. No hook ups. Didn't like what I saw so we made a move. Grabbed even more bait because they were so thick and took a ride. A couple more blow ups and got 1 fish. A couple more blows and pulled hooks and misses, caught another. We made it a fun day for the guys and boy did we put the effort in. Left the dock at 6:10am and got back at 6:30pm. Ended up 2 for about 12 live lining. The guys fished there asses off. But it wasn't easy hooking them today.
Thanks Guys
