Well got an early start on a Sun afternoon in search of a dolphin, I had a sword virgin along that need to be broke in and an old timer, Turtle. On the way out, Flat calm and a clean ocean and not a dolphin to be found. I figured We would warm Him up on a dolphin but that wasn't happening. Anyway We were almost on target as it was getting dark with a few little adjustments to hit BelongaKens hill, My furuno of MY hill {stay off .lol}
![]() Now notice 1056 same as last week ![]() Anyway were lined up perfect as I am starting to see BELONGAKENS hill come into view, Then the long float starts to scream just like last week, You know that wonderful sound that a Tigra makes, The one We all dream of. I slam it into drive and We are Tight ! Turtle harnesses our virgin in and He is off to the races. Short time later He is circleing the boat causing all kinds of caos and I grabbed the leader and pulled him into range and Turtle slings a 55 incher aboard. Then He realizes that He is no longer in the water and goes crazy as Turtle rides Him out. ![]() We Get the lines back out and settled down and and a look at the chart plotter reveals that We are headed right towards the outer edge of area 51 another one of BELONGAKENS hotspots.{Stay away .lol} Then sure enough Turtle yells long again and 2 floats disappear, Everone grabs a rod and starts crankin, We keep askin each other, Are you tight ? No, Are you tight ? No. Then all of a sudden our virgin goes for numer 2 yelling IM TIGHT! -IM TIGHT! and Hes right under the boat ! anyway to make a long story short I have leader and he is green as green can be and going for the engine as I try to hold him off the hook pulled and it went down as a Plam Beach release as We watched him swim away. All in all it turned out to be a beatiful night with great friends, And another wonderful night to burn into the memory bank. Ken |

The trip was killer. I got to thank Paul, Andy and Davie on the REEL LIES for taking me out to get tinkers the day before. I couldn't have got the mutts without there help!

Yes Tinkers beat out the gogs 3 to 1. But If I were you I would still catch pinners, philchards, etc. If you have any questions about the trip feel free to give me a ring 954-274-7380.

Secret revealed :-# - Fresh dead Tinkers versus Frozen tinkers.
My secret to you - Fresh Fried Tinkers taste much better than Fresh baked Tinkers, ( which of course do not taste as good as Fresh baked Mutton snapper - but that part you know already) I've got some frozen tinkers in the deep freeze. Man, if I could only trade some of those for some mutton. |
