Video Fishing Report: Jettywolf
Re: Video Fishing Report: Jettywolf
Nice video! Question: Do you really need to net those fish? It seems that if they are hooked well just pull them out with a smooth accelerating lift over the rail. I did that with rockfish in Puget Sound and it was much further lift than your boat. Always made sure it was a good hook set then used the net if not. Don't recall loosing a fish.

Re: Video Fishing Report: Jettywolf
Sure we could just "sling" a pup sized Black Drum or any other smaller fish in the boat.
But, because they are my customers fish, I do everything to insure the catch and that means in the boat and just incase with a net under them.
They usually have no idea how well a fish is hooked. It's called insurance. Me personally?????
I sling about every fish into the boat, less than 5 pounds or so. But then again, I'm not heart broken when I loose one or two, either.
The footage just covered the smallest ones. I was busy, busy, busy rebaiting and watching the anchor as we were backed up to a mile long pile of 10 granite boulders coming outa the water, and the full moon had me working HARD to catch anything.
Water temp here is LOW, it's 48 degrees and that's C-O-L-D for us. Fish size and species gets tougher and tougher the colder the water gets.
It be winter in sunny FLA. too.

That is colder than we are here in Puget Sound...hangs around 54 all year very little variation. Take care of the customer is a GOOD philosophy! You need to show us one of those brick block anchors you spoke about in another post!
Keep on Fishing! Capt PJ

Re: Video Fishing Report: Jettywolf
O yeah, that's right.....I forgot.
I'll go do some VIDEO, right now.
Yep, it's called the Atlantic. I bleieve itr's allot more tramultuous than the Pacific. The Gul;f of Mexico is just a big pond, compared the Lake Atlantic.
