Ted kept asking over and over to go to the beach today. I had a boatload of paperwork to do and I kept saying no. Then Anita said she would go and kept asking me to go and try to fish. I finally gave in and we went. It was real windy and we were watching the kite surfers coming and going. Those people rock! Looks like alot of fun. Some of them catch some massive air. I hung out and the tide came in and the waves started to mellow out and the wind too. Still waiting and all of a sudden bait fish appeared and birds were diving and the beach came alive.
In the time span of about 2 to 2 1/2 hours we caught a MESS of fish. 13 pompano, a dozen blue runners, couple of whitting, a couple of croacker, 2 ladyfish, a bluefish, and a 6 to 7 foot shark ate another pompano and ripped up my rig.We also saw a few snook and a couple of rolling tarpon.
The final count was 13 pompano for the grill and we will feed a few neighbors, They ALWAYS like when we catch too many pompano. May 3rd is very late for pompano. The moral of the story is when asked to go the beach, Go! The paperwork will always be waiting for me. My family will be grown and gone before I know it.
Till next week,
Tim
P.S. anyone want a fish or two for dinner give me a call.
