Bird Island

[catchingking]

Took my boat for the first time to West bay. I anchored up around bird island and around the cold pass area last thursday and friday. You could not have asked for better days to fish. I got a late start both mornings due to my knucklehead friend who cant tell time apparently. Finally count was 4 slot reds, 2 slot specs, and 2 nice flatties. I can only imagine what my numbers could have been if i would have gotten on the water at day break. Needless to say my buddy will not be receiving any invites any time soon. haha

Keep those lines tight gentleman!!

If anyone wants to show me some spots in West bay BEER, BAIT, and gas are on me shoot me a PM

Sounds like a good trip

Wait a minute-I went out Saturday am-early and got skunked-of course two boats were in my spot-but dint see them catch anything either.

Catchingking-sheeet, I'll supply beer, bait and gas to fish your spots!!

When I was in the military I was well known when I said I was leaving at a certain time and people didn't show up, so I left. I would get approached by the individuals and I would tell them they were old enough and not their mother. When I would say I was leaving, people were already at the truck. Never had anymore problems after that. You lead by example. Either that, or they'll take advantage of you. Lord Bless.

Sounds like a good trip. Too bad y'all got a late start both days. First time shame on me; second time shame on you... Thanks for the report!

What day ? How big a boat you got ? Might have about 20 people !

Robalo- Ive read alot about you on this site and i have to say im honored you would offer to take me fishing. I try and make it to west bay at least once a week to either wade or now use the boat. Ill let you know the next time im planning something. I do have a quick question, how important is wind direction when fishing the bay? I have noticed i catch the most when its a SSW about 5-10 mph. Is this just s coincidence or is there something to wind direction after all?

No problem Henry.., was a bad day catching and lucky that I did not blow up coming back in. Motor started running rough when I idled down but ran fine at speed. Almost hit the wall at the railroad bridge when it tried to die, had to run a little faster than normal coming back in the canals to the dock. Then right at the dock, it died and the wind started pushing me into the neighbors dock, lucky, I got the TM deployed, plugged in and the IPilot control fired up just in time! Trolled around and pulled the TM up just in time to miss the sling. Later, I pulled the cowling and fire it up to find a stream of gas spraying from a hose.

One spark and it would have been bad. Fixed it and cleaned up the gas and now ready to go again.
