Jamaican Princess Weekend wrap up, No Bass, Nice Tog & One Rescue
Interesting weekend for us……..ran south with ever other boat from Monmouth and Ocean county, tons or bait and bird play but just like the rest of fleet nothing to show for it. Pulled the plug on the bass mid-morning and hit some wrecks, made five drops with only a handful of seabass to show for our efforts.
Back at it again Sunday morning, making a left out of the inlet for the run up north. Stopped a few times on diving birds on the way but no takers. While working some impressive marks at the rocks I hear a boat blowing it’s horn, not sure what’s up but as we get closer I recognize the international boater’s distress signal….five gallon buckets feverously bailing. We pull our lines and run over to find the cockpit full of water and five wide eyed passengers, we take off three and another boat “Keeping It Reel” take off the other two. As I always say during the morning safety briefing “Bad Sh!t Happens Fast”, apparently something let loose and the engine compartment flooded in minutes. The Coast Guard responded soon after but not before the boat sunk like a stone. We marked the position of the new secret wreck and transferred our passengers to the coast guard vessel. With the bass bite looking like a repeat of the day before we decided to switch over to bottom fishing and fish Gods rewarded us for our good deeds with a decent Tog bite. We culled fish in the live well until we had our eight person limit of fatties. My mate Dave said we should have been allowed to take three additional fish for the people we rescued but I didn’t think that would fly with fish and game.
