  • Jacked Up!

    Our plan to go to East was derailed by the howling NE winds so we hit a protected area in Lower Galv Bay.
    While pulling in we saw waves breaking over what appeared to be a reef and we all said.......Where did that reef come from, it's not on the gps and I've never seen one there. We slowed down and pulled in closer and saw that it was a big school of Jacks blasting mullet, so we decided to have some fun. I chunked out a super spook and Capt Glenn threw over me, so I started reeling in fast and a big jack crushed it right beside the boat. The fight was on for about 30 minutes and she bent 5 of the hooks completely out and broke one off. Managed to land her and get her back in and we decided that was enough of that.
    The water looked awesome and there was tons of bait, so we thought that we were going to have a stellar day. The fish decided they weren't hungry, but we plugged away until dark and only caught 3 trout. We did have quite a few blow ups that didn't stick.
    It was a beautiful day to be out and had a great time.

              The Okuma Serrano and the Woodee rod. That combo is a lightweight BEAST!

                That is one heck of a Jack, but my question is what did you put on the tail end of your SS JR?

                      Jacks are always fun unless they tear up your stuff. Then you'll be saying, "What the H*(&*^ did I do that for? " Congrats on the catches, Jacks & all.

                        That is a high pitch rattle that I got at the fishing show and thought I would try out with the high wind yesterday. The hook seems to be pretty cheap after seeing what that jack did to it, but I will keep trying it. It should be killer in the surf!

                          Nice going Chip and Glenn.

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.
