Fact vs. Fishin’…
June 29th, 2008I think what attracts us to fishing just like gambling, hunting, chasing (men) women in bars, is the element of “ya just never know.” About the time you think you’ve got it figured out, you find out you don’t know squat. I always say that I leave the dock with a plan that is subject to change at any time…
Today, we fished off-shore for Dolphin. And we did catch some schoolie size Dolphin. And one out of two Sailfish (see following entry) and a nice 25 pound Wahoo! That makes for a Key West Slam, by the way. Billfish, Dolphin, Wahoo. We also had time to fish the reef where we caught Barracudas, Snappers, and had a Grouper eaten by a Dusky Shark right at the back of the boat for all to see. It’s good to be at the top of the food chain.
I had actually talked the charter into going to the reef to start the trip because I thought the off-shore action would be slow and I like to catch everyone a fish…. Then we end up the day with a Slam :) So, rule number one is: Ya just never know.
