Saturday 10/20 we had Anthony's charter, with his out of town friends, out to bend some rods. Started off jigging on some readings with no takers. They wanted to troll to have some fun, so we did. Trolled 3 rods with stretches and the second all 3 were out, 2-3 fish on. All blues, giant gator blues. Caught a ton of them for a while then turned to porgies. It was all of there first time and the put 20 in the box in about an hour all drifting. They gave up quick and wanted to put more bends in the rods, so we went looking. Tons of bait with nothing hitting the jigs. Back to the barn we went. The guys kept a bunch of blues and 20 porgies or so. Thanks guys.
Sunday 10/21 we had Tim, Dan, Murray, Sophia, Ken and Ken out for bass blues and tog. Nothing looked good for stripes or blues first thing so we went right to togs. First drop within 5 min Tim pulls a nice one around 5lbs. Then zero bites. Wiggle wiggle wiggle, nothing. Barely any bites what so ever. Made probably around 10 drops catching a few shorts and 2 keepers. Some of the worst black fishing I ever seen. On the way back we worked the deep on some readings but nothing. Last stop, game on with the blues for about a half hour. Gators all on jigs and teasers. Hate to have to save the day with blues, but it is what it is. Put another LONG day in to try to put some meat in the box but it just wasn't gonna happen. Tough day for sure. The guys kept 1 blue and 2 nice tog. Thanks again guys.
Sorry no pics(not like there's much to show ya anyway!)
Back at it tomorrow. See what the toggies will bring us.......
