Friday night was an exciting night of fishing for Jim, Tyler, myself & the Dangle's (Derek & Sarah). We put the boat in the water at about 8pm and headed toward St. Andrews Bay....in the pass. Apparently when there is a full moon, the fish are more abundant (? - and I don't question the 'pros') and if the tide is coming in, it will stir everything up; thus brining in all of the fish! While we were out there we saw a huge stingray (a.k.a. carpet) jump out of the water about 15' from the boat. We also had dolphin surrounding us practically. AND....we (the girls) guessed sharks to be the culprits for a mass amount of thrashing around in the waters just behind our boat - the boys say it was dolphin, but I don't think dolphin move like that - especially after seeing the dolphin swimming right next to the boat so gracefully. Although, one dolphin did manage to take one of our fish AND the lure...it broke the line and pissed Derek off (it was actually quite funny). We were out for about 4 hours and had a BLAST. I would go out over and over again if I could.
We caught lots of blue crab as they were being carried out in the tide (via nets) - they make great bait. Derek shows me how to get the blue crab ready for bait - kind of gross at first...but then it's fun!
Just tear off thier top shell and viola! Exposed crab meat ready for the taking!
Sarah's Redfish LOVED the crab!
