Look what I did on my day off....?????????

[LC]

Didn't have a charter today............

So what do I do............??????????

Lay out on the beach.................Mow grass..................Change the oil in my truck............??????????

Nahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GO FISHING

I "RODE OUT" with Rom Whitaker (Captain of the Release) and his mate Johnathan today........they had a full charter..........I filled in/mated for Rom several times this year.......I like Rom Alot............he's a great fisherman........and I learn new stuff every time I go offshore with him!!!!!!

Anyway the fishing was pretty good!!! Ended up with a mix bag of Wahoo's and Mahi..........saw a sail-fish.........and caught one snake king!

It's really cool being the "Ride OUT" or Second Mate on a Charter..........all of the fun and non of the pressure......!!!!!

Johnathan Wired'em.....and I stuck'em

Enjoy the pic's

Great post, LC, and sounds as though you had a great day.

We have fished with Rom on RELEASE three times, and each one has been a fine experience with a fine Captain. First time was shortly after Isabel, and he had to pick us up in Frisco...

Lee,

How are ya? what's Jersey up to? Haven't heard from him in a while. I still want to say I'm sorry for setting you up when Jay and Jersey put you in the water at hatteras harbour. That water had to be horrible. They said they do it to every " greenhorn". I didn't know what they were up to. Anyway congrats on all those billfish caught this summer. You're a great mate and someday will be a great captain. tight lines. Mark G

Thanks for the report and Pix. Are the wahoo hitting surface baits or the trap?

[Fishboy OV8]

I have not caught a wahoo yet and I see the guts splt on these fish.

Should they be gutted when caught?

[pellicot]

LC - we are headed down next week and will be kingfishing for a week with a bunch of us from Frederick, MD. We are hoping to get out in our own boats and do some wahoo fishing as well. Where did you go - Big Rock or Swanboro Hole?

Any help would be appreciated

We cut there bellies open to see what they had been feeding on!!!

When your out there fishing sometimes this info is very important. It helps you "Match the Hatch" and mimic something there presently feeding on.

Removing the guts is not necessary......as far as meat quality is concerend.
