Beaufort/Cape Lookout May 13
Out little Spanish friends are in but with out birds they are hard to find and nothing was on the surface. I put on 8 and 10 ounce weights and picked up about a dozen small blues and spanish trolling oo clark spoons along the beach in about 17 feet of water. Wind picked up big time around 2pm and a pod of fat albies tore up my spread so I came in. I know a lot of guys love catching these things but I think they are a pain in the *** as you cant eat them but they do fight hard..It was blowing a solid 25 when I hit the inlet and with quartering 5 ft seas it was a slow choppy ride and I broke off my seat and fell on my ***. I stopped for a flounder sandwich and a frosty and some guys in a big sport fishie tied up next to me with 6 guys on board. The mate told me that half of them had been throwing up and they they only got 3 decent dolphin and some snake kings and one big wahoo. Both dive shops cancelled out also because of the wind. I did not go out today and it was blowing all day and tomorrow is more wind and rain and monday is the same. Hopefully I can get out tuesday..Frank
