Re: Opening snapper report
I didn't get to uncover the V yesterday, I needed to be on the water instead. Took the tin boat out for the first fish of season 07. Water temps are still cold here [41*- 43*] but we thought we'd try and wake up a few winter flatties [flounder]. Had two chumpots deployed, dual anchor set-up, about six ft. of water. Took about 40 mins. or so for the first hit, just a little nibble. Ten mins. later fish on! Nice flattie, about two lbs, loose him at the side of the boat. Half hour later, fish on, feels bigger than the first, lost em' at the starb. gunnel. D#$n!! He was a good one , he put a good bend in the uglystick,took a little bit of line before I turned him around .He was better than 2 1/2 lbs, couldn't believe he got off >:( I didn't expect to get any sort of action at all so the two fish were a bonus. Today I'll get to uncover the V and drop in the batteries and fire her up :D
