What a trip…
So we arrived at the marina at about 6:45AM, ready to launch. We loaded the boat up and unfortunately couldn’t get the motor to start. We had just bought the boat two weeks ago and was working perfectly last week. After 30 or so minutes of frustration, we decided to at least fish from the shore to make it a worthwhile trip.
Last week were catching everything on powerbait, so we decided to stick with what was working. After not getting any bites for the first 15 minutes, my friend and I headed over to where my brother was fishing because he had called me telling me he landed his first fish of the day. We headed over and man did it pick up from there. We were constantly getting bites and we had three double ons. We ended up catching 25 between the three of us and we probably lost about 12 more. All 25 were caught on powerbait, yes, on POWERBAIT. Man I love that stuff. All 25 were also Cutty’s within the slot.
After we got back to the car, we decided to attempt to start the motor again, just to see if it would start up. Yup, the motor started on the first attempt! We later realized what the problem was and were able to laugh about it, especially since we had just landed 25 fish from the shore using powerbait.
