What happened to Danny?
I went down to the boat Saturday morning to ride out the storm and rearrange the tackle lockers Saturday and hopefully install rod holders and maybe the outriggers on Sunday. Tropical Storm Danny was a big disappointment. There was no wind to speak of and not much more than your average downpour as far as rain.
Got the lockers straightened out and hopefully in a more user friendly arrangement. Billy came back in with a limit of fluke from a rough inlet. He lost a couple of big fish in the 6 to 8 pound range trying to net them. I then had a hard decision to make, go fishing or work on the boat.
I did what any self respecting fisherman would do…I went fishing. I made a quick stop in the river before heading to the inlet. Got a couple hits in the river but quickly moved on. The inlet produced all the shorts you wanted, had a few hits on a jig that felt like weakfish but never came tight, which made think more that they were weaks being finicky and just mouthing the bait.
Was back at the dock by 1 pm, got cleaned up and just hung out with friends and enjoyed the beautiful day. Hopefully I will get to the installations this weekend since fluke will be closed and wreck fishing may be as well. I will post info on the pending closure of scup and sea bass as soon as I find anything out. I should have an idea Tuesday night.
