Here is the tale:
We departed from my house at 10:00 p.m. Friday, January 25, 2008 loaded with rods, reels, rigs and high expectations. Our boat was docked in Wildwood Crest, and due to depart at 2:00 a.m. Saturday, January 26, 2008. It was cold but we were warm with thoughts of winter pullage.
We arrived at the boat at Midnight, however, the clock in Leibs16's new truck was set one hour ahead, so I thought it was 1:00 a.m. I quickly woke Captain Todd who had to arrived hours before becuase the Cape May / Lewes Ferry stops running at 6:00 p.m. Captain Todd was not happy when we realized that it was an hour earlier.
After watching a few drunked morons stumble around the dock for an hour, we boarded the boat and managed to get some good sleeping spots! Within 15 minutes we were all asleep and remained that way for the 4 hour ride to the fishing grounds.
Here is Capt. Todd with Granny Binky:
6 a.m. and the fishing begins. Within minutes I pulled in a nice double header of sea bass (I use two hook rigs so you can catch two at once). Leibs nails a real nice big guy and Randy B. also pulls a double. Captain Todd gets a bergall :lol:
Here you see the bent rods as several are on the fish:
We had steady action all day, and loads of fun to boot. The temps warms up nicely and I was able to fish all day without gloves.
Ethan finally catches a shark:
We shared some apple pie with an eel:
And gave it a kiss:
Plenty of Sea Bass:
And at the end the cooler was filled to the brim:
