Last week the artist formerly known as the directa asked if I would be interested in hitting a party boat in cape may on 11/23 with him. After debating the thought of having to spend 24hrs with him & his senility I agreed to the offer in exchange for lodging & dinner :)
Friday night I stopped at Jersey Hooker & picked up 1/2 a bushel of the most beautiful freaking white crabs I ever saw then headed to cape may. The old man bought me a beer & dinner than proceeded to fall asleep while watching hogans heroes :p I got to the boat at 6:10am got set up in daddys spot & waited for the old man to show up. He arrived & started playing Vinces hit list with all the classics like the wreck of the Edmund fitzgerald, james brown's get up, & losing my religion by REM also telling me all about the great prissywhick kingfish & croaker bite of 76......safe to say by 7:29am I was ready to get in my car & go home.
Captain headed out with a decent crowd aboard but plenty of room to move around maybe 25-30 fares. First stop was in about 40ft of water close to the beach I dropped down & Kevin the mate netted a nice 5lb fish for me to start the day. From there action never stopped even with 0 conditions Captain Paul kept trying to get us on the pieces & as long as u got your bait to the wreck it got destroyed, a lot of just short fish 14.5 inchers were swimming away with crabs in there mouth hooking themselves.
By days end I had 28 shorts to go with my limit of 4 nice chunkers 3-5lbs & 1 15.5 incher so quality keepers for sure. Pops got 2k & 8 shorts which is a banner day for him. Pool winner was a 8lb female & there were a few limits around the boat as well, whites seemed to get better bites but greens got bites as well. Have to say Capt. Paul & Kevin were fabulous to fish with & I signed a few autographs for some adoring fans & saw Bender from the site as well. Overall a wonderful day in to nice of weather. Next up back to where it all began Friday in Barnegat Light :)
