Soon Rafter and Wolfman57 show up...............we aren't going to let an angry surf stop our launch............nor the 2=3 ft. swells offshore.........so we all were on the water by 9 am.
I caught three fish the first hour, my first was a 51/2 ft bull shark:
Then two bull reds.............first one:
And before I could release the first, another:
Then I sat for a while............ and finally get another bull red.
Then I sat...........and sat.............and sat some more while my fishing partners were catching one fish after another.
So I moved from 8 ft. to 10 ft. where they were. I still sat for 30 minutes and then BAMB!!! It turned on!
This was a day of furious activity and long waits in between.......the next 20 minutes I catch 4 fish.
Then I get this strong hookup that was about to spool me..............so I unhook and take a 1/8 mile sleigh ride. I thought I had a shark............but no I had the largest Bull Red I have ever caught!! I don't know exactly how big, cause he was so big I couldn't reach to properly measure him............but he was over 50 inches.
This fish was so heavy, I almost couldn't lift him to put him back in the water!
I catch one more bull red, which is a whole lot smaller:
Then it shut down for us............well for most of us.
We were off the water by 2:15 pm.
It was a day of horrific wind, then calm, then wind and then decent.
The wind came up for real and for the long term as we hit the beach!
It was a great day of catching and great fellowship with my fishing partners. I will let the other guys tell their stories.
All these awesome reports are giving me the itch.
