So, went down to fish chocolate/west bay today. My buddy bouy37 was not able to join me due to work, so Mrs bouy37 did. We launched a lutes at daybreak and ran up the bayou to a spot were Ive picked up a good red or two before. Within 2 min Mrs bouy37 says "fish on".....
shes hooked up with biggest lady fish Ive ever seen. Before long were headed for the bay, With the early low tide i decide to head to Halls, and we cant find much there so back to the bay we go. Set up on the east end of long reef...nothing. Ease down by the west end of the reef, the waters in better shape, tide is trying to come in. Its not long before i hook into solid 22 red. Troll around a bit... see a couple of small sea turtles...but by now our feet are starting to sweat.
We decide to go for a ride to cool off. On the way out of the bay i notice liar birds working like gulls, so we ease into them and low and behold trout every were, all dinks though, fun non the less. Played with them until the birds broke up, about a hour. We hit one of my lesser known spots by the mouth of the bay witnin a few minutes i hear drag peeling from Mrs bouys reel....turns out to be a 5lb snot shark...fun non the less. Before long were off the the flats behind the pass. HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY COMING UP....
On the way i see and smell a slick.. I ease around come in up wind and set up a drift to it.
Mrs bouy 37 is throwing a cork/plastic combo I'm throwing plastic. Were drifting for about 10 min when the beast shows himself...a 5 ft tarpon rolls up on her cork 2ft from the side of the boat. She cant get away from the back of the boat fast enough and i cant get to the back of the boat fast enough.
Shes screaming what the heck was that and screaming it was a f..... tarpon. After we both calm down were just staring at the water all around us looking for the beast to show himself again, with in a few min. it shows itself one more time, and then its gone..what a treat that was. We continue to the flats, a few min on the flats and Mrs Bouy37 says "whats that black area moving in the water" oh thats easy " its a shark" after a couple of tosses towards it... it spooks.
We then run the south shore line, make a pit stop at sea isle marina. A rat red off the snake island geotube and were headed back to lutes marina. One more rat red on the way back up the bayou, and we call it a day.
All in all one heck a off a day...big lady fish...big gafftop...lots of Lil trout...sea turtle... .
tarpon...shark.. and a few reds...
