New River 8-6/7

[Gator Man]

Sat: My Boat Is Down So My Neighbor Asked Me To Take His Out So I Could Take His Nephew For His 1st King. (he Fished A Big Kmt Out Of Morehead This Weekend.) I Accepted. My Wife And I Took This Young Fellow Out And Let Me Tell Ya.....we Have A New Saltwater Fisherman In Our Future. He Boated The 1st 3 Kings And A Cow And Was Done. He Had A Ball. My Wife Took Over The Reeling And The Better Kings Fired Up. She Lost Her Dolphin But Did A Great Job With The Last Two Kings.finished Up With 5 Kings In The Box And 2 Throw Backs And One Dolphin Saturday. Normally We Don't Keep These Snake Kings This Late In The Season. We Release Alive, But Not These. This Young Man Was Gonna Eat His Fine Catch. He Had A Ball.

Sunday: Went Back Out Despite The Conditions. We Figured It Might Lay Down With The Radio Calling For 2 To 3. Wrong.....it Was 6 To 8 At 12 Miles Out. This Time My Neighbor ( Owner Of The Boat) Went Back Out With Me And His Nephew. Hit The Kings Right Off The Bat. Small Though. He Wanted To Keep One More To Eat With His Family And Release The Rest. We Also Landed A Nice Cow Out Of The Double We Had On (knot Went Bad On Us). Highlight Of The Day Was The Sailfish That Hit Our Prop Bait And Shot Out Across The Spread. In Seconds, This Fish Had Over A Hundred Yards Striped And Wasn't In The Water For Any Of It. Incredible Sight To See. Would Have Been My 1st Sail But He Came Unbuttoned On One Of Those Summersaults. FINISHED UP WITH 3 KINGS(SMALL) AND ONE NICE COW DOLPHIN.

See Ya At The Shrimp Fest.
