You invite a couple of people to share in the joys of fishing due to a very recent experience and get sadly disappointed. Started off extremely promising as ten minutes from the dock we were sitting in a soup of stripers, after quickly landing and releasing 3 sub-legals, we boated away from the fish >>yes, I said it...we left fish to go find fish<<...
...I always mock people who do that, so shame on me.
Hoping for large, we headed off into what was supposed to be a great day on the water....swells were much, much larger than expected...making it difficult to safely get in tight, especially at low tide. After zipping to and fro, we hit a couple of tog spots that were on fire a couple of days ago. Knowing the tide hadn't really started moving yet, I remained confident that they would show.....
3 hours of a flooding tide and they were still in lock-down??? We managed a couple, but NOTHING like it should have been.
"A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day work" ??......not when you invite people hoping to put them on fish...and burn one of your last vacation days it's not!!!
In saying all of that, it still ain't over Bigfish. I owe a few more fish a good Azzwhippping!!!
