Well Bft and I finally made it out to try for some big Uglies. We met our Buddy Mark at boat ramp and unloaded Freak Nasty. Saltwater was in the AIR. We headed out to the Jetties. Freak Nasty handled the water very nice. It was a little windy 10-15mph. We made it to one of Marks fishing spots and started fishing. We had live shrimp and Live blue crabs for bait. Set the big poles out with a crab on it and another rod with a live shrimp. We fished for a few hours. Bite was slow but we did catch some huge Sheephead while we waited for the Bug Uglies to bite. They were the biggest Sheephead that I have caught. As we were focused on catching fish with the live shrimp we heard one of the reels bait clickers go off and start screaming. Mark picked up pole and Bid Ugly was hooked up and ready for battle. As he was fighting it the other pole started screaming. BFT picked up that pole and we had a double. They put up a great fight. They are very hard pulling fish. Mark got his to side of boat and the net we had was way to small. ( Side note- If I had double checked the list Bass Tracker was nice enough to make for us I would of remembered the big net. LOL ) Back to story. As he got it close to the boat we let it tire out and lifted it into the boat. We had 120lb leaders on our set up. We got some nice pics and released the fish to fight another day. As we were finishing up with Mark's fish.BFT was still getting punked around by his fish, LOl JK. BFT's fish was a lot bigger and did not want to come to the boat. Well as I said before if net was a joke to first fish BFT's fish was way bigger than first fish net looked like a dip net to that fish. We tried to lift the fish in but the hook came out and I didn't get any good pics of BFT holding his Huge fish. But we still were happy we had a double and Gave each other high fives and set rods back up for more fish. We continued to catch big sheepheads.We also caught some very nice reds all about 27-28in.
We hooked up to a few more Big Uglies but would lose them at the boat. No biggie to me cause they were going to get turned lose anyways. I have some pics on my camera. Mark also look some pics with his camera. I'm trying to borrow his camera so I can download the pics.
I'm Sure BFT will give his report soon. As always BFT and Mark are great guys to go fishing with. Thanks for going out fishing with me guys.
