...but today's weather is the stuff of nightmares.
We got a little window for kayaking offshore and I made the most of it, as I wanted to see if the offshore fish were still here a week before Thanksgiving. Yes, they were all still here and they were hangry!
Several big sharks were breaching, and I had a bonita savagely attacked near the kayak. The tax man gave me a big shower and ate not only the tuna, but also my lure and the entire wire leader. I wasn't going to get a sleigh ride from that one, but I did come ashore with a huge load of fish. I released several big kings and a 37" cobia. You know storage space is tight when I release a legal cobia

Professor just curious what do you do with the jacks? I've often wondered if they were worthy of the dinner table. _________________ Remember to check your smoke alarms. |

Wait a minute, wait a minute!
The video was only 41 seconds long. Is the rest coming?
Sorry, you just have us so spoiled with long videos. Sure sounded like an awesome trip.
Keep them coming.... _________________

The jacks I keep go to Roy's for store credit. Rocky and I have an arrangement and it makes my tackle addiction less expensive.
I had two video cameras with me and after I got home I realized one had the memory card left out ...and the other fried itself out on the water and didn't capture anything. I spent the whole trip turning cameras off and on, talking to myself and thinking I had the makings of a great last video of the season. Crud! Oh well, I will be sure both cameras are working on the next trip. I enjoy making the videos, but this trip is destined to just be good personal memories and fish for the family. |
