Hit the beach again Thursday. A totally crazy west wind was gently making it's way at about 3 mph directly offshore. With seas at 1 ft or less....what a day!!!
But first...thank you Cummins with manual transmission! Half a tank after this week's zodiac and trailer PINS trip all the way from the station at Whitecap to Mansfield Jetties and up and down the beach a bit, then back home. And only used half??!! Loving it!
Launching the boat in this was quite a riot!
Just a LITTLE flat!
And soon....spadefish galore!!!
First cast brought me a 49 inch King on topwater....
But I was ONLY after dinner this day!
LOTS of dinner!!!
The water was hot and getting hotter though....
I hit a few other locations and finally did some trolling.
Ribbons n snapper slappers!!!!
All in all it was the most beautifully flat and clear water day I've seen on Island in summer in a long while. But deader than a doornail in all that heat! No tarpon, no more kings, and no trolling knockdowns! I need to get after some spades one of these days for dinner! But it was a great day nevertheless! Ya'll stay cool and have a great holiday weekend.
