blues and spanards

[timber]

fished Sun morn picked up four spanish 20+inches. had a few blues. everything was on pink and silver. Most reports on the radio were doing the same.

We also caught 4 in the first three hours of fishing, and then 5 more very quickly, basically on the way in. I'm not seeing the dense bait clouds along the edges of the bar as in the past. So far, not nearly as many blues as last year either.
We wasted GREAT amounts of time this trip and last untangling/retying messes caused by ball bearing swivels that apparently don't turn as freely Year 2. Fixable; lesson learned.

Timber/Deltaville we were out there bumping around with you all Sunday morning. What kind of boats were you in? Silver caught the spanish for us too and gold caught the blues. We were the 27' Carolina skiff hollar at us if you see us. No boat name on the skiff but calling the Mister Js Pleasure will raise me. If the wind is 10 or less we will be out there Sat Morning with Josh, my brother and his buddies from SC.
Have a good one

Bobby, I think I saw you. Do you remember seeing a 2550 PH maycraft w/radar?

[kintla25]

Are you guys running Planers or In-lines and what weight was working best, Thanks!

[MrJsPleasure]

I remember seeing your boat (Those Maycrafts catch my eye as I want a 27). We will hollar at you if we see you and we are on the fish from here on out. We had a 3/4 mile track that looked like a road when we finished that caught most of our fish. We were catching fish on it even after most of the fleet started to work a littler futher east. We also caught 5 to 1 better going south instead of North or any other direction. We almost got to the point of pulling up runing back to the first mark and dropping in again.

We caught through out the morning on planners and did well with 4 to 6 oz inlines early in the morning.

MrJ Thanks, I will do the same. Send me a bmail, I tried to send you one but it is not on.

ours were the same

Bobbie / Timber - we're a 23' Parker w/pilot house. My sons like the name 'Rappaholic"; we've not agreed on that but we'll answer a call. Please do check on us if we're in the same neighborhood. When we caught several fish back-to-back-to back etc we were orienting east west (obviously, outside the conventional n-s traffic lane there). Otherwise there was no pattern to catching we did. We did have a 1st-time doubleheader: one fish came over the gunnawale w/two spoons in his mouth; one had been on a #1 planer, the other a 4 oz. inline which was out beyond the planer line (I think). This tells me there's something very badly amiss with how I've got my baits laid out but I've not yet figured it out.

Dave good to hear from you. Good to hear about Mac and Sherry thought they were still in Deltaville but good to know where their at. That Sherry's a good luck charm and can catch some fish. I've been busy but need to make time to get down Deltaville and visit some of the crew. Ive still got the Mister J's Pleasure and a 27 foot carolina skiff we play out of. If you see me out there give me a call.
