Wasnt supposed to have an afternoon trip today... But since we had a nice bite yesterday a bunch of guys From the "Short List" wanted to Get out... Seemed like the perfect weather... Told the guys we had a bottom trip and would have to leave a little later...
With the great bite going off earlier and the phone ringing like crazy we were Chompin at the bit. After Filleting our morning catch we were off around 4:30 pm...Had John, Tom, Greg, Gene, and Stelly aboard.
Headed outside and were in tons of bunker filled up the well... Seen a few fish caught but we didnt have no bites... Headed up the line and found a acre of bunker with nobody on them.. John got a nice fish right away... Made another drift nutin... Didnt want to waste much time as the bite was now going off up north...
Ran up to belmar made a drift and Lost one... went to start up the motors and one Starter took a crap
... Now on one motor... show must go on...
Limping around at 7 knots we still managed to get on fish while wayne was busy swoping out the starter
...
We didnt get to see them exploding or busting. We caught most of our fish drifting on readings... We had a bunch of good shots at em.... 2-3 on and some misses... John had one explode on a plug but it came unbuttoned. Tom landed a beauty...
We went around 10 for 18 on the bass to around 35lbs... The guys put together a 5 man limit between them. John and Tom Released all there fish after a pic...
Wayne Got us back online for the ride in...
Thanks again guys for putting together the trip short Notice!!!
