Broke the skunk and Learned new areas to fish
Friday, Son in law broke the skunk , found a lonely croaker, then the rest of us started catching , croaker, whiting and lots of dink trout.
Daughter even did a double on the last cast of the day.
Started out 8am when straight out of kema to the platform, nothing then worked our way towards redfish island and fished around
there ( watch out for the waves ) I was expecting them this time. and had a good excape route . Fished inside the island
where the rocks were east of me then we went towards eagle point.
One of the key features of the day was the tide, it was up high at 8am and going out and we were able to find places out in the bay where there was current changes, Long lines of suds , not much of a temperature diffrence didnt seem to hold bait or birds , but noticeable. (2.) The place known as tods dump , is much longer than the charts show. I could see in the distance a place that looked
like a current rip or a set of waves that never moved , at first I thought it was another on coming ship wake that I was going to have to
fight or run, even pulled the ancor and got out the binoculars , kids told me its not moving, I eventually agreed , I kept my eye on it
and as the south wind came up and the out going current became stronger we finally headed straight to my tracks from eagle point
back to kema. I have stayed away from that area, seems to be a place you can get into trouble fast , lots of obstructions and gotchas.
On the way back there was what looked to be a 2X12 about 12 feet long floating free, easy to see .
Somewhere over by kema, there seems to be a magic line where it goes from ok to nasty rough , maybe two or three miles out.
There were hundreds of what I call tree ducks, out there, I began to smell a distint odor, told son inlaw stinky ducks then I saw maybe ten gulls and a pelican all around a spot , I wondered then if I had come accross a feeding bunch of specks. I have read of the stink, but never experienced it. In that same area I noticed the water changed to chocolate milk, figured it was from kema channel. Seems that these things were all telling me fish. I was on a dead line and did not get to test my thoughts and it was really getting nasty. I was glad to say , I am starting to notice them as I move around, .
The skunk is over. I hope i get out one more time before we start 2015
