Fall Run

Christopherkeene9 · 09-30-06, 09:49 PM

Hit the water at 0630 this morning and headed to R4 and R2 buoy looking for bait, but found dirty water and nothing marking. So we headed to a set of reefs a few miles west of the wx buoy. Nothing there 'cept a few 'cudas so we headed East towards the buoy. at about 140 ft. past the buoy we get a double header dolphin. Dad works his in and I get her in the box and then we get Ryan's in who has a friend along too!!! I throw a jig but just chasing it, our friend aboard Jordan drop's back a ballyhoo and BAM another one on 8-).

The BLOOD

Put the spread back out a trolled around there for a while, but found nothing more so we headed East again in search of the Stream. Found some more 'cudas. Then we hit the stream edge and we get a little 21" dolphin.

We headed further into the stream but it started getting too hot of water for our taste so we headed back toward the buoy. On the stream line again we pick up my dolphin. and some more 'cudas.

From there we headed back past the buoy with no more hits but with more 'cudas.

So we pick up and head back to the set of artificial reefs for some bottom fishing. But nothing but lizard fish and sharks for a few drops. So we then head over to 8A to end the day with our first Red snappers, but they were both short

. We also pulled up a few sea bass that barely made limit with TONS of throw backs.
Back into the port by 1730 for an 11 hour day.

Total:
5 Dolphin to 14lbs.
2 Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks
6 Seabass
And a dozen 'cuda

Yeah really especially when gaffed and flopping everywhere and smaking ya!

Thats just the mass of the blood. We had it all the way up in the helm, under the T-top, all over the cockpit seats, and the best yet all over Me

texasbasser · 10-01-06, 03:10 PM

um...why dont you like cudas? i love them, really fun to catch

Christopherkeene9 · 10-01-06, 05:17 PM

They waste bait and you can't eat 'em!

texasbasser · 10-01-06, 05:19 PM

waste bait? come on. dolphin waste bait! cudas are fun to catch.

Christopherkeene9 · 10-01-06, 05:27 PM

Dolphin you can eat not a waste of bait. And they have no fight in them so I dont know what your talking about on wasting bait.

texasbasser · 10-01-06, 05:34 PM

i was just saying, cuda dont waste bait, dolhpin dont waste bait. i just personally think baracuda are good fighters on light tackle. IMO

Christopherkeene9 · 10-02-06, 02:10 PM

Whatever, when you start catching worth while fish and have to use bait that cost almost a dollar you'll see it my way. And 'cuda still don't fight for squat on light tackle.

flbassman · 10-02-06, 03:47 PM

A cuda is a trash fish. They steal bait, you can't eat 'em, They fight just long enough to be annoying, and they eat fish while you bring them in.

texasbasser · 10-02-06, 08:13 PM

ok sorry guys, just my opinion. i once caught a 35 pound cuda and it fought pretty darn well....

flbassman · 10-02-06, 08:17 PM

A 35 pund fish of any species fights good on 20 pound test. A 35 pound brick fights good on 12

But a 25 pound dolphin, king, snapper, grouper, tuna, sail, cobia, redfish or wahoo fights infinitely better than a cuda of any size.

texasbasser · 10-02-06, 08:25 PM

yea , id agree with you on that. i got it on 20 pound test. i havent caught a sail, dolphin,cobia, or wahoo, but i have redifsh, king, tuna, snapper etc.

Christopherkeene9 · 10-02-06, 08:45 PM

mmmm Cobia, just had some tonight!

texasbasser · 10-02-06, 08:47 PM

cobia taste AWESOME!!!

Christopherkeene9 · 10-02-06, 09:01 PM

texasbasser · 10-02-06, 09:09 PM

wow that looks tasty! and chris, i do pay alot for shrimp and menhaden, mullet etc. its part of fishing and we each have our opinions.

Christopherkeene9 · 10-02-06, 09:12 PM

Why not get a cast net and get your own pogies and mullet?

texasbasser · 10-02-06, 09:13 PM

we do sometimes, but when the water is rough its hard to find em.

Vabass22 · 10-03-06, 09:36 PM

I once caught a baby cuda, on a hand reel.A 20lb smallmouth bass, imo, would give a sweet fight! Never been offshore fishing, but looks like fun.

texasbasser · 10-03-06, 09:38 PM

heck yes vabass, a 20 pound smallmouth would be a AWESOME fight.

Vabass22 · 10-04-06, 07:14 AM

That looks like some good eatin' Chris!
Just had some salmon!
YUMMMMMM

texasbasser · 10-04-06, 09:33 PM
