Well here ya go guys.. I don't generally post too many reports.
The last couple of weeks I have been trying to get my surf weight
stock built up in anticipation of our spring Drum run. I have taken a couple
of breaks to fish a little. A couple of weeks ago I ran out to the dike to
deliver some weights to my good friend David. I was in shorts and a t-shirt.
I did not intend to be out long. I got there and was shootin the breeze with
my bud when I heard one of his clickers go off.
He told me to "Get It". It turned out to be his new, never before fished
with Daiwa X40 and 11' Tsunami. I grabbed it and reeled up a nice redfish.
I had to go due to the fact that I was freezing to death. Later that day
my bud David got another nice red on the same rig.
Then he and I returned couple of days later. I got a nice drum
on one of his 525's. I sometimes think David enjoys watching me catch fish
on his rods almost as much as he does catching them himself.
Myself and another bud Keith went out last night (02/12/05).
We couldn't find live crab anywhere. I said what the heck I have some crab
Fishbites. We got out there about 6:30pm. The wind wasn't blowing much at
all. Water color looked pretty good and the tide was about to turn around
and start going out. I figured our chances were pretty good. I hoped so my
bud Keith is just getting into this way of fishing and hasn't caught anything
big yet. Well we hadn't been there but maybe 15 minutes when I looked and
saw that my X50 was across my Grandwave. I told Keith "We got a fish on".
He said "I didn't hear a clicker". Well sure enough in typical "Big Ugly"
fashion that joker had picked it up and swam in and to the left with it.
Well Keith gets his first big fish, on my new Daiwa X50shv. All in
all not bad for winter time on the uppercoast. Spring time is coming. I think
we are in for an outstanding year.
