With the recent reports of activity in the race I decided to head out today and give it a try for a few hours.All of the usually players couldn’t make the trip either getting there own boat ready, yard work, or just couldn’t get a hold of them so it was just Bobbie and I.We headed out in an inaccurate one foot or less seas. Wind was hard from the west 15 knots at least, but it produced nothing that the full canvas on the Grady couldn’t block. The race was in flood so we had a typical wind vs tide scenario.
Bobbie was fishing a white buck tail and I was working the diamond jig. We were marking a few fish in 125-140 foot of water. A couple of drifts into the trip I hook a barley legal fish and put him back in to grow a little.I gave Bobbie the “Hot” diamond jig and I took the buck tail (green on now), only to hook a nice 30 inch keeper that goes into the fish locker for a meal!We trade back and I am working the diamond jig and hook even a nicer fish.
We only stayed for a few hours and headed back in for a lunch that included nice fresh striper on the grill at the marina!What was interesting is that when we were filleting the fish I looked at the stomach contents, the smaller fish had a 3”-4” fluke in its stomach!!!!
The race is certainly heating up and the sun stayed out for the trip! A great morning on the water!
