Been getting some PM's from a prospective NEW for about 3 weeks now.......40,000 TF'ers .........and I get singled out. WHY ME ? Last two thursdays have been a blow out so it was a no go.......was going to go yesterday but the forcast was if'y so I headed up river with Doug J for some Dove hunting and catfishing on the side after the shotguns cooled down......thats another forum tho.........Called Andy(medic) permanent rider of the Knot~Yet and of course he was in to go.....made a few other calls and whoever calls back first gets the other side of the boat......Called the prospective and left a message that the time limit was 1 hour and we were rolling outta Rudee ......New or not........Headed straight to the bouy we caught and limited Spadefish on the last 2 trips in 1 week to get more.......that was the prospective NEW 's target fish-Spadefish.......I caught a yellowtail and a pigfish........Andy threw metal at a 4 foot Barracuda several times with no results but turn tail and just ease away from us. The water was not near as clear as it was 4 days ago but Andy did get a 18+ nice flounder that I tagged and he let go ......we had hung out long enough and headed to the bouy I fish alot alone and had pretty good luck there.....the species continued.....here I caught a pinfish,spot and Andy caught a croaker too.....we three took turns bailing spot and adding them to the livewell.....could not catch a single spot for bait inside Rudee but here we are 11 miles out on this bouy nailing spot ! I did a jig & dance with Mr Brownsuit myself today too as a matter of fact......so the cobia was species number 7 and on the way home Andy reels in a spanish mac off a clark spoon......and number 9 would have been a bluefish but I lost it at the boat.......so 8 spedies it stands and a great day on the water with a 30 pounder added to the freezer that I gave Andy 1/2 of .......the prospective we will call K~61 had a great time and I already talked about a return trip so I guess the mystery is over and I wont be left in the dark anymore! Thanx to both 's for going along today and great job driving the boat K~61 and of course Andy for netting my fish ...........

Yeah, it's been busy... Shelley was asking about you the other day...I told her that you post about once per week.
I'm looking at the calendar now - trying to decide when to drag the boat down to Hopewell for some of that James River catfishin'... I would like to get a GPS chartplotter on my boat before heading out there, but I don't know if that's gonna happen.
