Fished CC Bay yesterday. Was oput of the canal before the sun even lightened the eastern sky and was on the spot with stars still visible to the west. Saw the space station zip by, that was cool. As the sun started to lighten the sky we set out the rigs and started to see SBFT'S popping all over the zone. Took out the trusty Loomis Spiining rod with 20lb fireline and whipped out a 2100 series creek chub popper on a bunch that was breakin' a hundred feet from the hull. Bam I am on. Fifteen minutes later the Gorram' fish finds a buoy and see ya later. Well ten minutes after that I spy another bunch and whip out the ol spinning rod again and second cast a fish in the 45 to 50 pound class engulfs my second Creek Chub ( the first still attached to a tuna's lips) Oh My Gawd!!!! Want to see line disappear from a reel? That's one way to see it go. We had lines out with rigs and the critter crossed the one deep rig we always run with a CD-18 Rapala on it and tied knots in the line around my Fireline. In the ensuing choas trying to get the cd-18 off of my line I lost tension and the barbless hook pulled. Oh well. I did get what I really wanted and that was to see a few of them attack my plug. Boy oh Boy was that the balls!!!!!! Weather we crappy as the southeast breeze came up and the fish got lockjaw. End of story. ( That is the second time this weekend that the wind killed a bite for me, I was on the beach somewhere on the lower Cape and had fish all over my Beachmaster Dannys. Several landed to 40 inches or so, not big but fun fish and poof the wind goes east hard and in an hour the mung is back in with weed and the fish are gone es't Vous!!!! It was pretty funny watching the other buggies go by while I would flip it into free spool and let the fish run until the trucks were way down and reel them in. I only saw one little bait fish pop out of the water as I was cruising the edge in my truck. Stopped and there was a herd there, unbelievable)
