Fishwhisperer Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Set up, in the first rain storm, north in 85 FOW just before 7 o'clock. Worked NW out to 110 with out a bump. Made the turn and worked back in closer. Around 8 PM we lost a good fish on the DR 60' down w/ a Stinger blue freaking veg. in 97 FOW. Not too long later, the 300' copper went. It was a nice 16# King on a DW mag. mixed veg. It wasn't much later when the same DR fired again. This time it was very spunky 5# King. It hit the Stinger Nitro Hell Fire 35' down on a fixed slider. Then the big storm came. The wind picked up allot. The waves started to build and cap instantly. We opted to pull lines and run in. Found a laker on the other DR when we pulled lines. It hit MS Flounder Pounder 77' down. The storm blew by so fast, that it was over by the time we had all of the lines pulled. Turned out to be a good thing we pulled when we did. The boat had been taking on some water and neither bilge was working.
2UNREEL Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Nice work Randy, who where you out with? Sounds like it could of got ugly and you guys made the right choice. Good Job
Adam Bomb Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Nice job out there....Good move to pull em. Those storms are no laughing matter. Good luck with the bildge repair, hope you can get at them easily enough. All we have is a little port hole to work on ours and its a P.I.A to get at.
j1musser Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Great job Randy. Sounds like you guys rolled in at the right time;)
Just Hook'n Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Sometimes nature has subtle hints of telling you something is wrong. What timing on the storm vs the sumps. AND you caught fish. I'd say that's a win.
