Default Key West Snowies 11/03/09

Put the Electramate to work today. 4 snowies 3 of them over 20pds out of 800' all on Bonito chunks. The current inside 850 was to the south east about a knot, outside the wall current was none existent. Tried a drop for swords but with no current we gave up after 30 minutes. On the way in we ran across big patches of grass with tons of bait (caught a few) traded the baits for a few dolphin and tunas on the next patch. Two drops on a deeper wreck south of American light turned up a mutton and a big mangrove. We had a smorgasbord of fish for the fillet table. I guess it just wishful thinking that NOAA will ever back off the one per Snowie limit, now that its in place.
gl all,
Beau
Oh I forgot caught a southern hake again.

Default southern hake

I keep catching these things. They are ugly for sure and very difficult to clean (very soft meat) but very tasty.
