We
may have failed to put fish in the cooler on Saturday but
Wobbly D kept us from being skunked. Late in the day just
before returning to the dock, he hooked a small Croaker.
Our only fish of the day.
That night instead of fresh fish it was frozen pizza
for dinner.
On Sunday our luck, was not much better. We did get (4)
four good strikes, all on Balahoo rigs. One set the reel to screaming.
We failed to set the hook on any of the strikes, so our
trolling efforts went unrewarded...
4
strikes...0 fish.
The kids got excited hearing the
sound a reel makes when
it's hit and now their hooked...their just ready to see
something other than half the bait on the hook when it reaches
the boat.
As the day went on we decided to attempted a little
bottom fishing at AR-425 and once again managed to avoid being
skunked.
We hooked 5 little fish, none of them worth keeping.
It was Wobbly D that saved us from being skunked by catching the
first fish of the day. Captain Wobbly and Wobbly Dude each caught
one...one was even caught without using a rod.....
Catch of the day goes to Wobbly Dude 1. When Wobbly
Mate's
line broke and tangled in his rod Wobbly Dude 1 helped him out.
When he pulled the line in by hand to save the rig there was a fish on the hook. |
