Capt Dicks Stream trip 5-12-11 (Murrels Inlet, SC)

Went down with my spouse and minor woman. I had intentions of a group of men fishing a buddies boat, but due to some problems only 2 of us wished to go occur &quotgo-time&quot. I’d promised a whole lot of folks fish, so we determined a headboat would be a far better choice at that level. Referred to as and reserved a few spots on Capt Dicks for an all day journey. Stunned to see the cost was nonetheless the very same as the very last time we went out (two-3 years ago) even with the way fuel is. We had a fairly small group, feel 33 individuals on the boat. H2o had a bit of a chop on the way out, laid down pretty flat by 10am or so.

Myself and my buddy ended up the only drift fishermen on the boat so we had plenty of place for that. We fished dead cigar minnows one particular 75′-100′ the other a tiny even more back again. Managed to restrict out on kings. Had a double hookup the moment, landed both fish. Caught the previous four fish within ten minutes. All pretty good sized, smallest was thirteen#. They ran 13#, sixteen#, 17#, 17#, 24# and 29#. Even managed to hook yet another at 21# and handed the rod to someone else so they could appreciate the fight and fish. Only missed a single run all day, of program it appeared to be the biggest fish, burned an straightforward 200yards of line, applied a little drag and pulled loose. Didn’t miss a single fish at the boat, mates did a fantastic task. I assume the Captain gaffed all of our fish, each and every gaff was textbook. Impressed to say the minimum.

Bottom fishing seemed to be exceptional and some of the best I’ve witnessed in really some time. Limited out on just about almost everything, two grouper in the bag, the two fairly great dimensions. Found some significantly more substantial grouper appear over the rail, believe the largest was 17#. Observed some of the most significant BSB Ive at any time observed in my existence arrive over one particular way, then correct again into the drinking water.

I apologize about the deficiency of photos (unless you men wanna see the steaks and fillets), by the time we received in, I was completed, cooked, somebody forgot sunscreen. Went to GCP to clear and weigh the fish. That was a whooooole other story. The hook for their scale only had 24&quot or so of place before the fish on the scale’s tail was laying in a flowerbed. That whole ordeal price us two several hours.
