Thursday Night Football (11/2)

[Latimeria]

The surf initially looked good, but turned out to be a cast to cast issue.  One cast big lumps of grass and the next cast not a single blade of sea grass.

Steve and I worked a very promising area, but only got By-catch bites.  I started off with a medium sized butterfly ray.



Fishing was fairly slow, so I turned the Jets/Bills game on my phone.  I have to say that wanted to watch the game tonight (I'm a Jets fan) but wanted to fish more.  It especially helped since the Jets pretty much beat up on the Bills even though the score didn't really reflect it.

I got one more fish which turned out to be a legal Calico (picture on camera instead of phone) and that was that.  Steve's rod was quiet as far as real bites, but was losing baits to bait thieves at a good clip.

Overall, the surf was very fishable  and the tides were good.  I thought Steve or I was going to break out with a nice grinner, but no such luck.  Oh well, got to keep trying.

Thanks for reading and until next tide!

I think it is weird to watch TV at the beach.

Reminds me of fishing with Denny and Tony...............they're on their phones the whole time

Probably missed a bite from a 93" sevengill 

Nice butterfly Tom!

Only televised Jets game all year, so had to watch... and glad I did.

It is, but you get used to it, especially if you fish Saturday or Sunday during the playoffs. We'll run the sound through our portable speakers too. Kinda like tailgating, watching the game and fishing all at the same time

As part of my entertainment, I watch how many bites he misses and time how long until he notices his line is loaded with weeds.

That's me too Verne! I've missed a lot of bites due to some close Words with Friends games with a co-worker.

This would be a great poll question. Just to see how common this phone/fishing habit is.
