Cape Fair 7/29

[cheesemaster]

Yep, I got out today for about 2.5 hours. I havent been since last report. Clouds started to get thicker and thunder started rumbling and I didn' want to get hit by lightning so I called it a day at 8:30. 

Fishing was fun - like it always is even if I ain't catching them. But today I had a little luck. I had a bunch of shorts and 2 keepers at 15.5". I caught my first spoon fish, pic below, Crappie. Of all fish. I had a heck of a fight a coupe times and guess what I caught, see below. 2 catfish. What a fun fight on both. I snagged the first one in the back and the other ate my Rock Crawler.  The Rock Crawler was the lure of choice today. And I had the best luck on rock points.

Ya, not sure. I am guessing it was something to do with a live well. He had another wound on the other side of his mouth. I could tell he was recently caught.

I've caught a few in the last month or so with the tail issue too.  They were all caught pretty shallow.  Not sure what it was from.
