August 30th BIG SPANISH - Great Bite!
My father, Tom Cronk, is in town for the holiday weekend. We shot out on the water Sat. morning with a livewell full of Peanut Pogies in search of those big (Roe) Spanish. If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to catch the big spanish... your catch is primarily those small spanish you've got to measure... well, throw away those clark spoons and bird or tree rigs and go get some 4 to 5in. mullet minnows or shad. These larger 3 to 7lb female spanish want LIVE bait. They are not easily fooled by flashy hardware. If you haven't had a chance to hop onboard with Mike or Myself to target these fish... check out http://www.carolinafishingtv.com/ and look for the show on spanish and kings under current shows. Watch it free online! if you miss the show each Sunday on Fox 8 or Fox 14 on Sunday mornings at 9:30am. Well, I left the camera at the dock (Dad was quite upset) but he reminded me at the dock after I already cleaned 4 big Spanish.... Oh well, we still managed a picture of a handful. and Yes, those are Spanish! There is only one king in the picture. The Spanish are ranging from 2lbs to 6lbs. It's onfire right now... if you want to experience some serious spanish fishing first hand... i'm talking about 20 to 30 hookups in just a couple hours! give Mike or myself a shout and we'll try to make some time.
