Reds in the suds ........

[Ice Cream Man]

The last 2 days been back in the suds - with my buddy David C.

On Wed. afternoon get a call from David while in Tex's Tackle, asking me if I want to go for a boat ride & check out his new Garmin GPS/Sonar .

Rush home to change & grab a rod or two just in case .........

Cast netted some turbo Pogeys head to the spot -

Less then 5 minutes of anchoring up we both have caught & released 2 over slot Reds each -

then the bite stops ........

Back to the boat to fine turn the Garmin .......

On Thurs. afternoon get a call from David while at Home Depot asking me if I want to go for a boat ride - DeJa Vu - all over again .

Rush home to change & grab 3 rod this time, good thing because he forgot his big stick .

Cast netted some smaller Pogeys head to the spot & it's on again -

First cast 33" Red for me - I'm happy but the conditions are getting ugly .....

David continues to cast further then me with my rod & hooks up every time -

This is not good, so I load the Abu up throw into the wind & get the mother of all backlashes -

Game over for me, but not for David - all I could do was watch him catch Reds on almost every cast with my back up rod .

Back at the boat, I'm pulling up the anchor, he's gloating & saying stuff " like nice balanced rod..... you should get one ..... "

I could do nothing but smile, while plotting my revenge, with my head down I spot about a 40# Cobia swimming between us & the bank .........

Slip the anchor back over & tried to get him to take a boat ride with us, with everything he had -

Live Pogeys, cut Pogeys, free lined Pogeys, bottom rigged Pogeys & white bucktails - but sadly we never saw him again .

On the way back to the dock we see a partial floating 15' Sailboat with 2 boats & a group of people bailing her out .

We stop to help with the bailing, end up towing the Sailboat & her owner to a friends dock .

Thanks to all that had the good sense to aide a person in distress ............ ICM

The "Mother of all Backlashes" ... is that where your avitar came from? I've done that with braided stainless wire. It's a cool pic in any event.
