10/12/08 fishing report

Met PBR at cockroach bay Sunday morning

I caught a nice redfish early in the day. Used a near 1/4 DOA shrimp, but with a weighted hook. Being heavier it had a nice action to it, more like using a jig. Well the redfish ruined the nose of shrimp. So I went to my top water set-up and I kept getting strikes but no hook-ups. I don't seem to catch fish on topwater

Caught this little grouper nugget on a funky chicken, cuz I though -"redfish sure do love them" maybe "X" was wrong

I caught one more small trout. Pat caught several trout and a few that were good size.

It was nice to get out fishing - sorry nothing cool to report like Terry W vs. Manta Ray......the things that people will do to get attention

Paul-you might want to bring osme extra sunscreen next time.

Nice to see you getting out, better do it now, sailing season is coming up and then we will never see you.

You can't have too much sunscreen.....the spray on sunscreen is great for re-appling after wading

I did sail on Saturday with my brother in law - we won and we caught two spanish macs between races

Nacho Grande - the big cheese. He painted it that color.

He does not know that yellow = slow........I tried to explain it to him

The boat is a custom one off Robertson 41 - it was built in south florida, but designed in New Zealand

It has a great open transom for fishing....I have caught some big Kings trolling off sailboats.....sailboat go about right speed

Real nice boat. Are all jibs that large or is that a racer?

Rik · Post by **Rik** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:54 am

That isn't a jib.

Its an assymetrical spinnaker, or sometimes called a Code 0, good for apparent angles 90-130 degrees.
