Ken and 10 year old Gianna were back on board today and they are always great to fish with. Ken and I have been fishing for longer than I can remember and it's great to watch Gianna grow up with each trip we take. The plan today was bonefish and lots of action so we started off bonefishing and while it didn't happen as quickly as the past few days, I'm getting spoiled I know, we eventually started getting bites and hooking fish with the total being 2-4. Switching off to action fishing I made a long run, found a ton of pilchards and threw the cast net. They were in 7' of water which is pretty deep for my cast net but I let it sink for an eternity and when I pulled it up it was loaded with tons of silver shining pilchards. I loaded up the live well and gave it one more throw for good measure, plus it is so satisfying to watch the cast net load up with bait. Hitting a couple of wrecks and channels live chumming proved to be dead. This was unfathomable to me but yes, it was dead in spit of perfect baits and lots of live chumming. Switching to shrimp Gianna caught a bunch of trigger fish before we moved on. Whatever you stupid fish, we're off to bonefish some more! We wrapped up our Thanksgiving Day charter but missing a few more bonefish bites and losing a solid double digit fish deep into the fight just a couple of minutes before release. Ouch!
