Day 1

Sunday was a blow day and the boats had been pulled. Sarah said there was a chance for Monday and to check in around ten, there was a chance for a half day.  Rhody and I were drinking coffee and shooting the breeze when the call came at 8:30, she was ready and to come on down. We weren't quite ready and rushed to get things together and we left the slip at 9:30.

It was a little breezy, but the day was looking good.



We chased after the fish and played the albie version of whack a mole all afternoon.

I had a fish on but failed to get a hook set. We never really got into fish but it was a good time getting to know the guide and get our sea legs. Despite all of the boats out that day there weren't any good reports.

Well there is always tomorrow.

Back at the cottage we had some beer and Rhody cooked up a batch of his famous Shrimp and Grits.

With calm seas we searched for our prey along Atlantic Beach and it wasn't too long before we were hooked up.

The fish stayed up early but in the afternoon it was more albie whack a mole.

And after a day of salt and sun we headed back to the barn.

Riverbum greated us at the dock and we drove around to his friends place to scrounge up some shrimp for dinner. We watched a beautiful sunset as Steve cleaned his catch.

Back at the ranch Rhody cooked up another superb batch of awesome Shrimp and Grits.

Day 3

Due to an error on my part Riverbum, Rhody and I were scheduled for the day. No problem, plenty of room in the Jones Bros. 23-footer.
The weather was getting better each day and it looked good for going to the east side. We were created at the dock with another gorgeous sunrise, and we beat Brian and his Sage rod designers out of the gate.

The east side was calm with 3-4 foot swells but the ride across the shoals was a bit snotty.

With Rhody in the bow and the bum in the back with chased after the birds and were hooked up by 8:30

And just as quick as they appeared they were gone, and the hunt continued.

We may have stayed east too long and there was action on the beaches, but it was also a cluster of run 'n gun whack a mole.
We ended up with a low count, but it was still a grand day on the water.

The Fishhook was open (closed S-T due to staff shortage) and we went there for dinner. Tidal Waves and Oysters were ordered, and it was a grand meal

After three days on the water I was beat, and with one more day to go I just wanted to get some shut eye. Bur the driver and family were pulling in at ten and Rhody and the Bum stayed up and were catching up with the Driver. Grumpy old WB couldn't sleep and eventually told them to STFU.
Day 4 #114
Driver and I got down to the dock just as Sarah and Brian arrived. It wasn't long before we were headed out into another spectacular sunrise.

Capt. Sarah spotted some interesting bait balls on the way to the east side and we stopped to try for some drum but wall we caught were bluefish and a grey trout.

Cloudy skies greeted us but the seas were calm.

The lack of birds was worrisome, and we planned to head west if fish weren't spotted.
Back across the shoals Capt Sarah spotted some birds working and we headed over to check out the action.

Things slowed down after that activity and it became Whack an Albie.
Driver had an interesting encounter with a bird that got wrapped up in his line.

Back at the dock my fried brain needed a moment to check my ciphering.

In the meantime, a dude came over to look at Driver's custom T&T rod and he states that he was a T&T designer and that was his rod. He had been out with Capt. Chuck Aikens and he caught nine. Later we learned that the Riverbum had gotten into them with his friend Steve, and he caught 3 before they had to leave. All of this happed while we were oceanside enjoying calm seas and searching for fish. It's a big ocean and you can't be in the right place all the time.
I had told Brian earlier in the week that "This was the best thing that I had done for myself this year." I booked a full week in November 2020.
Capt. Sarah is great, she worked hard to get us on fish and was aware of everything happening on her boat and offered assistance anytime someone got tangled or broke off.  She gave us tips and instruction when needed and boated our fish effortlessly.

Good for you Woolly. Too often in a life of tending to the needs of others we forget that it's important to take some time out for ourselves.
