2019 a year to forget! A bust for me.

I knew this was going to be a tough year for me based on work. I had a big project at work that had a 2019 deadline. The project went live on Dec 5th but that was the big thing that held me back from fishing as much as I could.

The year started a bust because Spring Trophy season was cancelled. I would expect that the 2020 season will be cancelled as well. I am fully supportive of any legislative measures that will keep the population of fish in the Bay healthy

My boat had a lower unit go out and that took out most of the spring and summer fishing. I was able to get out a few times for Spanish and that was the one specicies that saved fishing in general. By all accounts we had a banner year for Spanish.

Did not get out Cobia fishing but once and did not get anything other than a few skates.

Had lots of issues with the weather, big wind/waves and after I was off for the remainder of the year it was extremely foggy so we didn’t venture off too many times.

My buddy Mitch got a new Parker so I did go with him a few times after Dec 16th but we only got a few shorts. Went with Captain Jack one time and caught one keeper.

The one that got away. Had a 50# main line break on a very big fish. The 25# leader did not break so it was obviously a chaffed or defective line.

Anyway, I have my boat in good working order and hopefully 2020 will be the year for some wall mounters.

See ya in the Spring.
