Saturday - John Stonehouse and I spent the morning sight casting to Spanish Mackerel. We had an excellent morning and then about 10:30 someone turned on the big fan and the wind cranked up to about 25 mph... I guess that is the big news of the weekend is that the Spanish have arrived in FULL FORCE- and if you have never sight cast to them with a light spinning rod or fly rod - it's really fun.
Sunday- Dave Balmer and I headed out to try and catch them on the flyrod. Looked a couple of places first but the wind from the night before had the ocean stirred up big time. We finally found them and when we did it was non-stop casting to busting fish for about 3 hours. Dave turns around one time and says "Man this is an adrenaline rush" - this guy flies jets for the Air Force so go figure. Chasing Spanish and sight casting(either fly fishing or spin fishing) I think is some of the most exciting fishing there is... you motor up to a school of busting fish and get one or two cast in before they move away! We had a really action packed morning and I can't wait for Dave to get hooked into a 15 pound false albacore this fall!
Monday- Promised my daughter I would take her and her friend Hogan fishing. So even though it was a little rough we took off and caught 8 Spanish in about an hour and a half. Nothing like two 7 year olds cranking them in!!!
