Today was great. I was just going to do a splash test for the boat to make sure she holds together under load after I put all the new parts on. Pulleys, steering pump, steering fluid cooler.<\/p>\n
I am really happy I had my rods on the boat. I was really unhappy that they sat for six weeks. I fouled 2 with real skill, no hope for them untangling. One rod broke a guide from the force of a cast and the leader knot catching. So I was three rods down. I lost my Sebile swimmer, and three jig heads.<\/p>\n
Now the good news. There are fish in the bay. The only way I took bass today under the birds was Sluggos on bullet lead heads. I used 3\/4 oz, with 7 1\/2 inch tail. The fish were on top (blues) and about 6-20 feet down (bass). I caught about 12 bass by allowing the jigs to sink below the fish then retrieve back up through them. As long as I stayed with the fish, I got a bass every cast. I saw a lot of people catching bluefish.<\/p>\n
The nice guy in the yellow boat with a diesel engine came by to see why I was catching bass. After I lost my last jig head, again bad leader, all curly and funky from sitting 6 weeks, I used plugs and my Sebile to mess around with bluefish. I caught about 8 blues, from 4-12 lbs. I stayed out until I lost the Sebile to a blue, then headed in.<\/p>\n
We are going to do a spicy Thai crispy fried bass tonight.<\/p>\n
Here are the two 34 & 35 inch fish:<\/p>\n
