Stayed in close in the morning, serious thunder & lightning to our east. Overcast and almost chilly morning. didn’t feel like June! Not a bad ride south, found the fleet slow trolling (and kite fishing) for Kings. Without live bait our plan to troll Wahoo and a few on top for the rare Dolphin. Little Bonita on naked, rigger line. Totally cool, watched Kings skyrocket! There was life in the ocean After the storm it laid way down. Another Bonita and we put young William on the rod. Determined young man. Found the most beautiful weed line seen this year. Clean side 1/2 degree cooler. Nakeds, skirts.. you name it we dragged it. 2 more Bonita then the down rigger at 50’ went off. Thoughts of Wahoo and being on the stage. Griggs on the rod, high confidence! And up comes a Cuda. Cut up chum and worked the paddies, seeing only one tiny dolphin. Coming in see bait busting, spinners out - me tossing a big topwater, Brian hooks up with a big paddletail on a large Blue Runner. With help little William brings it in. And thus we check off fish starting with the letter “B”. Bonita, Barracuda and Big Blue Runner. Fun day on Southern Charm, nothing to the Stage. Congratulations to all the winners and Kudos to Randolph Carter and the FSFA volunteers for hosting a great event
