Nice Wahoo on Tuesday, May 6

I took my nephew, Joey Dixon, from Elizabethtown, Kentucky out thirty miles yesterday on the Pammie. The water was choppy when we left at eight am and it was blowing east. We worked the 180 - 210 water on the edge with a blue and white Islander topped with a ballyhoo, slow trolling. Joey is a veteran of catching big catfish on the Ohio in Kentucky [two national catch and release titles]. This big boy ripped off a lot of 80 lb. test and gave him a good tussle.

Beautiful day out there. The water calmed good . We went on out to the Nipple - 131 hole and had no more strikes. The water temp was just a bit over 72 degrees. I hear the water temp is over that to the SW.

Anyone who doesn't enjoy this stuff needs to read a lot of good books!

My E Tec runs great. I think I will keep the boat, etc. and get someone else to drive it so my 68 year old body can last a bit longer. :clap
