20131012 - Vrooom Vrooom

Post by jbdba01 »

Not much to say other than it hosed up fishing for everyone. This went on for about 10 min. [sigh] I didn't capture the biggest rooster tail, but it was quite impressive.

Boat did look new and shiny... Hopefully he'll learn to get skinny and plan it out better - or get out and push next time.

Then again perhaps I'll stick closer to home where it's harder to get boats into the skinny stuff. Come on winter...

Those pesky grass beds getting in the way of a shiny new Yamaha... :cry:

No - too far away. I would estimate it at 500 yards or so. Hence all the grain/noise in the shots. He made it out eventually. The only saving grace is that the water was white - hopefully there's not a big hole.

Seen worse off Tarpon Key a couple years ago.

Not sure what people think...can't be good for that new engine much less the environment.

For the record it was off Miguel Bay - first time I've been there. May be the last or I may just fish it on weekdays - way too much boat traffic for my taste.

Come on Todd they were probably in one of the thousand redfish tournaments and needed to get back to the launch to catch the jumping dog competition.
