7/26/07 NO SHOW... THESE BOYS MISSED OUT!




Well... How's the saying go.... "There's always a few in the crowd." Folks, just incase you're wondering why we as fishing guides usually require a deposit... Well, today was a good example. After adjusting my schedule and doing an 11hr drive in one day to make sure I could accomodate some "new" clients... and talking with them yesterday evening... not to mention the preparation time... they were a no show at the dock this morning... no call to let me know... i called as I thought they were running late but, they wouldn't pick up or return my call... other than the fact that their actions are unprofessional as US NAVY personnel...and I could have been spending time with my Wife... Well, I made the best of the situation... I made a call and got a chance to fish with a friend onboard. The day turned out very good. These guys truly missed out... We fished from about 7:00am until 1:00pm and wore them out.... The action was steady throughout the morning but the highlight today was an hour long bite on 3 to 6lb Spanish Mackerel. We only had two lines in the water as we couldn't keep the Spanish off them. We had 5 double hook-ups back to back followed by about 10 more single hook-ups. The largest Spanish was 6.1lbs. Hey Drew..... congrats on your big redfish release out there.... ps.... We're catching the Spanish Mackerel on No. 6 Gold Treble hooks fished on 6 to 8in of 20 to 30lb Malin wire and pulling either a 4 to 5in mullet minnow or peanut pogie. Live chumming helps.... These fish are around the inlets and the live bottoms within 2miles of the beach (Bear Rock, Station Rock, Tom Smith Rock, Key Post Rocks). Lots of luck fishing this weekend!

Perfect weather, great fishing guide, and the results speak for themself. Good job Jeff.
 
Man you are waxing them good!!! Did the dolphin come from near shore too? Keep'em coming.
 
Hey Allen... the dolphin bite is best beginning at 8 to 10 miles to offshore right now... we've been catching some around SE bottoms and the D Buoy. The better bite on the flounder is within 5 miles fo the beach but there are quite a few flounder inside too with our largest inside on live mullet minnows and Gulp Alive Shrimp on Jigheads. Capt. Jeff
 
Thanks for the most fun fishing we have ever had. Harriett's not stopped talking about getting into those red fish yet. We'll hollar at you when we need to know where the fish are.
