Happy Thanksgiving, Let's Fish
|
This week has started off pretty good even though the weather has been iffy at best. Jay Hillman called me a few weeks ago and set up two days while he and his family were in Cocoa on vacation. Jay is a regular from upstate New York and is a great angler along with his son Colton who is growing up fast.
I was surprised that Colton was not with Jay the first day, but he was tired out from hunting opening day in NY so Jay and I hit it alone. We fished hard and boated three reds in the morning all slots in the four pound plus range. The Salt Water Assassin Sea shad four inch in Cajun Croaker was just what the doctor ordered and they got slammed by the fish that were feeding on small finger mullet. Jay is catch and release and so we put them all back to grow up some more. Our gear consisted of Lamiglas IRFA series 702 and the new Excel series 703. I was introduced to a new spinning reel the Sharkfin by Castalia Outdoors based in Frostproof Fl a few weeks back and I must say they have a winner both in the 2000 and 4000 series. They also are introducing to the American market a new line, Liquid Braid. Put the two together and you get a reel that REALLY casts a mile with ease. I have fished all types of spinners in my 50 plus years of fishing and I have no worries about this one, high quality and a price that won’t break your back, be on the lookout for them, you’ll be glad you did. www.CastiliaOutdoors.com
Jay grinned when he cast it and the quote was” Unbelievable”.
The second day old Colton showed up and we headed out to see if he could still fish and he sure could. We caught reds, trout and wore the ladyfish out. We caught so many we lost count. Colton would eat a little, snooze a little and fish a lot. It was two great days with two great guys and the only thing left in this report is to say, “Come on Down” and get in on in yourself!
At $275 for two anglers for six hours, you won’t find a better deal or have more fun!
Just ask Jay and Colton!
