Bluefin

The plan was to fish with Blue Ridge Musky on Tuesday and drive from there to Wanchese to fish on the Special Kate the next morning. Captain Sam Scott said that we might want to reschedule the muskie trip as it was going to be too cold to keep the reels from freezing while casting. We could just drag baits around. Sam, I’m retired, I can fish anytime you say. So, muskie trip rescheduled, headed to Wanchese. Gorgeous down there and we didn’t run anywhere. Just get out of the inlet and fish right off of the beach. Hooked 5 bluefin. One was small enough to keep. Released two that were too big. Broke two off and broke two rods. Actually, broke the same rod twice. Bishop Fishing Supply, the Southalls need a new planer rod and probably some other stuff. Those bluefin are mean.
