| 3-18-08 High Winds and Big Fish |
| Today I had Ray Amaya and his 2 sons. The forecast was NOT in our favor today, but we made a run for it anyways. Ray sr. was heading to work so I offered to take the boys to and from the dock. When we got bait, Ray jr. didn't want to rub the Budda and it showed in the end. We started in Ingleside so Dad could fish for a few hours before work, but the fish just weren't in there. At 11:00 I trailered over to Goose Island and hoped we could find some fish before the rain. Our first anchor produced some really nice fish. David rubbed the Budda and guess what???? He outfished his brother BIGTIME!!! He had one drum that was 29 inches long. Soon after our first move, the storm was looming on the horizon and we decided to head back. We had 9 drum and 1 red. The drum were either 14 1/2 inches or over 25 inches. It was weird to see so many big and small fish with none in between. These 2 really hung in through some awful conditions to come up with a decent box of big fish. |
