Broad and Reel

…or a chomper blue as Justin calls them.

This past weekend (Memorial Day weekend) Justin’s Dad came up to hang out and do some fishing. Unfortunately Saturday was pretty crappy and we just drove around and watched TV.

But Sunday promised to be sunny and warm so we got up fairly early and headed down to the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area.

Yup,  Justin finally got his truck back…it looks good besides the tires which are a little too small

Anyhow we caught whiting and sugar perch all day but nothing over 10 inches or so. The guy next to us did catch a nice chopper blue but that was all we saw.

We left around 4 p.m. to get something to eat…came back around 6ish and by 6:30 p.m. Justin hooked into his blue. I believe he caught it on frozen finger mullet. Ya…I was jealous

Justin was thrilled…the fish put up a good fight and Justin ate deep fried blue fish for 3 days straight. He refuses to waste fish he keeps because he thinks it’s bad fish karma. I agree.
