My friend Kelly has a saying that he is fond of using when we are catching lots of fish: "Slayin' em." Unfortunately, he hasn't really had the opportunity to use it yet, as we haven't found ourselves in the catching-a-fish-on-every-cast-type of situation.
This afternoon I found some time to fish, and went directly to Coffee Pot to get my line wet. I tied on a 1/4oz Yo-zuri Crystal minnow, black top/silver sides. Fresh out of the package. My last Yo-zuri.
I started at the clump of mangroves where I usually park and worked my way south down the seawall. At one point I had a little pow bite that felt like a ladyfish, and though I was standing in a spot where I have never caught a fish, I tried another cast. My line tighted up and a ladyfish launched itself high into the air.
Fifteen to twenty minutes later, I had caught five more ladyfish (all around 14") and a lizard fish, for a total of 7 fish. I was catching a fish on every other cast.
In short, I was slayin' em!
Unfortunately, Kelly wasn't there to join in the fun. Then again, he could say the same of me...he's at the Super Bowl.
