Fish hunting
Sunday, July 27, 2008
Some days fishing is a lot like hunting. Friday was one of those days. The previous week’s storm seemed to have changed the water quite a bit and as result we had no clue where the kings might be. So my friend Gery from Hunter’s Haven Taxidermy and I went on a hunt 
The menhaden have been slim up this ways so far so we skipped even looking for them and headed right out to the first set of box cars (AR362). The buoy is missing by the way, in fact we saw it latter in the day about 3 miles closer to shore than it should have been. We used our sibiki rigs and caught some very nice greenies and cigar minnows for bait. Then the hunt began.
We tried all the usually places in the 8-15 miles range first heading east of the box cars then north. We finally caught one king but also caught a few sharks. Not seeing much bait we moved on. Then we headed south. Hooked up and lost a huge AJ. Finally called it a day about 1pm and headed home. It was a pretty day but slow fishing for us. Talked to a friend who we had seen at the box cars. They headed north and had much better luck, they caught several kings, 2 mahi and a cobia! You just never know.
