Mexico Bay 4/27

[Fish Hunter]

First time out this year for us.

Ran down to near Catfish and set up.

Smithwicks and J11's off the boards and Suttons off the balls as always, but we sure did not have them hopping in the boat at any time.

Slow pick, with no real pattern that developed, as we were changing up looking for what they wanted.

Did take 2 from a BT Rapala, and 2 from a blue/silver Smithwick, but that stopped.

Took a nice Steelhead from a new Silver Horde spoon that Jim Dence, owner, of All Season Sports gave us to try.

After finally getting back to the launch about 3:00, we had boated 12 total, and dropped 1, with the largest about 7 lbs, with what we thought was a large prop scar(not from an eel) on it.

We earned those fish, but all in all was a good day on the water, good laughs, good food, with the sun even coming out at the end. What could be better?

Weather permitting, we will give it another go next Sunday,

What a coincidence- We caught a 7 lb brown with a large prop mark about 10:30 on Sun morn in 25 ft off the High Rocks. The wound was about 4-5 inches long on about a 45 degree angle about 3 inches behind the gill. We felt sorry for it and released it. The skin was scraped right off and had what looked like 3 fresh swirls from a 3 blade hit. Must have been very hungry to hit again if it was the same one. It hit a orange J9 Rapala off the board.

This had to have been the same fish, as your description of the wound it EXACTLY what it had.

We caught it by Shore Oaks, which is not far from the High Rocks. 

We released it as well.

What are the chances of that??

Hi Dave,

We heard later that there was a good bite over past Nine Mile, and folks had good numbers in front of the State Park.

How'd the winter treat you?

How's Team Draggin' Fly doing?

We went last year and caught a pile-o-fish in spite of being greenhorns to that area.
