Changing my tune for this weekend.

Originally I thought i'd be heading to the river, but now it looks like it's turning into an ocean trip. I made a few calls and the forecast hasn't changed, but from who i've talked to, it shouldn't be too bad with in 3 or 4 miles out. Hopefully I won't get stuck in the inlet, but if I do, no biggie. I can alway anchor off on the S. side of the jetties.

I'd really like to get to the reef and it not be rough. I know the sheephead and seabass are on the bite. And i'm sure I can snag a couple big sharks while i'm there. I'll take note of the water temp on my sonar so everyone will have an accurate water temp from the reef. [cool]

I'll make sure and post a report!

LOL, no, i'm not still anchored up on the water. [] It was actually calm the first part of the day. I posted a detailed report a while ago. It did get a little rough on us once the wind changed later that afternoon. I had a heck of a time getting the boat anchored over the reef, and I got tired of trying and decided to head to the house for a hot shower and a shot of aloe on the sun burn. []

We did have a pretty good day. I know the guys on this board have been waiting for a first hand fishing report for quite sometime, I was glad to be able to give them one. We did catch quite a few nice fish, I hope to fire up the hot oil this weekend and fill up the ol' belly with the days catch. I'm going to make a smorgus board of fish: seabass, sheepshead and i'll fry up some catfish from last season. I'll pan fry the bass and sheephead, and beer batter deep fry the kitty fish. Toss in a few hushpuppies and some home made cole slaw, and that makes for a nice little meal. Oh, I almost forgot the cold brew.

I figure if I get enough active SC members on the board, I might organize a big fish fry/ fishing trip on the river. It would be cool to get a bunch of people together for a day of fishing and some good food afterwards. [cool]
