MOTHER MOTHER OCEAN I HAVE HEARD YOU CALL....

As the song goes "gotta stop wishin'....gotta go fishin'....I'm down to rock bottom again. Just a few friends....just a few friends...." So the rock bottom line is...we have cooked fish twice in the last three days but it was compliments AGAIN of Loopers and Kinscherffs! We are now OUT and dependent upon our skills once again! This is really scary :) On Wednesday we hired a local fisherman named Pat Robertson (should have been alarmed when we found out his name) to show us some local reef spots. First thing he told us was that the offshore fishing wasn't that good here and that the best fishing for dolphin and tuna was off of Staniel Cay and Highborne Cay where we had just left! Reminded us of the beer commercial where a couple of old guys bend over to get a beer out of the cooler and Haley's Comet flies by. We hope all of the dolphin and tuna didn't go north as we headed south! Back to the story....the seas were calm but it rained and rained and rained some more. I think P's & S's brought that from Missouri! We trolled some and anchored three times and not once did any bait fish come to our chum :( Caught a bucket full of assorted reef fish that we would have thrown back but Pat insisted we keep them. Here is a pic of the biggest catch so far!

Jeannie, you are still in 1st place but GP says "the fat lady hasn't sung yet!" Thankfully he didn't hear me singing a Jim Morris song last evening while sipping a rum drink on the back of the boat before retiring :)

Thursday was pretty much a ditto of Wednesday. However, the sun is shining this morning for the first time and we are up readying Feeding Frenzy III for the hunt. Pics and report of the big catch later :) Catch you on the flip flop!
