The original plan was to go buggin in the big bay Friday night with my wingman Jim (Spyder). My wingman has been letting me down lately. http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif The last three weekends we were supposed to go buggin and fishing together. The 1st weekend he says he's sick, something about a 102 http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.giftemperature....whatever. Ok...we make plans for the following weekend. This time he's got pneumonia and can't make it....WHAT A WUSS!!! http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/Rambo_Throwing_Knives.gifOk then.... last weekend of bug season and we are definately going....then I get the call from Spyder.....the winds blowing....it's my daughters birthday.......so sad. Where are his priorities?http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/slap.gif
The wind was calm when I arrived at Fiesta Island at O dark thirty. I was feeling lazy so I figured fiesta would be a good launch. Just drive to the waters edge and launch the yak. I hit the water about the time it started to get light. The tide was moving out well and the day looked promising. I paddled out to my 1st spot and started to get a pretty steady bite on the croakers. There were a couple of bigger models there with the biggest going 16in. That fishing began to taper off so I moved to my second spot and went looking for spotties.
The 2nd spot was loaded with spotties. Nothing real big but a fish on just about every cast. The best part was that I was out infront of a bunch of shore fisherman...just out of there casting range....while I landed bass after bass. I say a bunch I mean three guys and 28 rods lining the shore. The wind started to blow fairly early and I was off the water by 9am. By the time I was loaded up and ready to go the wind was starting to kick up strong.
Overall a short productive trip to the bay. 23 fish in an hour and a half. Made a day full of honeydo's a little more palatable that's for sure.
OH ya....just bustin your chops wingman...see you tomorrow afternoon for some bassin.......maybe.
fish count:
9 Croaker (needed more gulpman entries)
14 spotties
all C&R
