Re: Fall 2009 Gathering Time and Location Options
As soon as I leave [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] trolled from Boynton to LWI with Susan on Monday with a couple very large Bonita's, caught in a downpour at the inlet and ran into Sailfish soaked. Knock the chill off with a couple shots of Cuervo and a beer, back up the ICW after it stopped. Wednesday Denny came out and we trolled Boynton to LWI, wore Denny out on some Bonita- caught in a 30mph downdraft from an offshore storm moving SW back in, 5 miles out - fun ride, soaked with saltwater this time. Started south in the ICW following the rain south and a Severe Thunderstorm meets us heading NE - back to Sailfish and wait it out, again. Keep in mind these storms were coming at 1 to 2 in the afternoon, so not much time to fish any day, and they stayed around most of the evening. Thursday take a cruise down to Boca, stopped at her brothers in Delray on the way, get to the Boca inlet, big nasty coming again - try to run back north -HA- caught us and I jumped under a bridge and fought 50 mph winds and rain wiping around the bulkhead - another fun afternoon, brother came for dinner and no rain = good. Sandy was back Fri and we tried drifting but the kings wouldn't let you fish and the cats won't even eat them. Storms started building again so we had to cut the trolling short but with the west wind most of the week very very little weed and very few flyers. Some fish were caught well offshore but the storms would build right at the coast. Put right at 279 miles per the GPS for the week and really had a great time.
Thanks again to Sandy for letting me leave my trailer and I have found a guy from here that needed a place to leave his boat over there for 4 days so I think I made Sandy a 150 for that - hope that works for ya.
