13th cont.
Got out the slip at 1:00pm trolled to the jetties ,no hits.Drifted outside the jetties and got some big bites .They lost 3 fish quick ,one really big SMOKER KING.Kept drifting and landed a 15# jack and a 5 ' sandbar shark .Put out a two pound live mullet on a 6/0 reel .It got bit in half immediately with almost spooling the reel.Fish got off bent both 7/0 hooks on a kingfish leader. then got 5 bites at once .Lost one 5 ' sandbar ,broke the wire. One was a 5' TARPON got him to the boat then the hooks pulled while I was helping with 4 other BIG fish on.Finally got a nice 5' sandbar in the boat .Two lines crossed while they were playing the fish ,Line sapped as I was telling them to lower the rod when he lifted it causing the break.All this time I am doing this my deckhand is curled up in the corner puking .Then after the RODEO ,I tied on a BIG shark leader put on a 5# bait dropped it on a 6/0 .got bit again then I knew really quick we was not going to catch that one .He was just too big ,so we put the rod it the holder until he bent 1 hook and broke the other.Got back to the dock and got more 6/0 reels for Saturday.
Friday the 13th
Wow what a day Friday the 13th!
Started out with no trip for me or Dolphin Docks .Ok no big deal .Wanting to go so bad ,the day before found Kingfish at the jetties .landed a 17 lb king and a 14# jack.Customers lost several nice ones.Had some small penn 209's on the boat only a few 4\0 reels .Got spooled on one of the 209's.
NEXT day the 13th.ED called needing a deckhand for a short offshore trip at 7:00 this was at 6;15am.I said I would be there .got there at 6;50 ,he had the boat ready,customers waiting .Got the boat untied halfway out the slip Ed told them we was going to go trolling that was the best way to catch them.They said NO we AIN'T and wanted off the boat.Backed boat back in and they left .Ed told them he would charged their credit card for a no show fee they said fine.
OK no trip then went to DDocks .Those same people called there and wanted to charter a boat.They also came by and left no trip for them they were to picky.
had 7 people come in from Dallas and charted the Flipper.Them about 20 came in and wanted to go but the boat was already spoken for.
