Captain Judy’s Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing Report Statement

Firstly, I would like to say, “Yes, my fishing reports are long!” Now that I got this out of the way I can get to the point for this statement. I know a lot of fishermen don’t like to read, but in the fish-catching world the only way to get ahead is to read or fish everyday like me. The information that I am sharing with you is “priceless” for many reasons. The first is that it has taken me many years to get where I feel that what I am passing on to you is the absolute facts for getting the best opportunity to catch fish! With that being said, “ I suggest hanging on every word, because it’s not just good reading it “real fishing experience on a page!”

Inshore Fishing Report
Brought to you directly from Captain Jack McGowan of Miss Judy Charters

How’s the fishing? Pretty good despite strong winds and lack of much needed rain. Strong winds couple with large tides pushed water much higher than predicted. When fishermen are on the move it likely means they are struggling. Despite challenging conditions some fishermen were still able to produce good catches of sea trout and whiting. When, when wind and tides abated fishing pickes up. Slow moving water due to small tides following the large tides can be challenging. Best action for sea trout is usually when fishermen find clean water and a good drift. This week we’ve caught sea trout on plastics as well as shrimp. Sharks are being to show up. Bonnet head sharks can be found close to their primary food source of blue crabs. When fishermen decide to keep a small shark make sure it’s legal (30" TL). Try to avoid taking large bonnet heads. These are pregnant females. The presence of large bonnet heads is a sign of a healthy environment. Some states are experiencing a decrease in the size of this shark. There are small sharp nose sharks on the sand bars. So far the size remains of the sharp nose are less than two feet. Hopefully as the spring progresses we’ll see larger sharp noses.

There are reports of glass minnows coming into the sounds just south of Savannah. Glass minnows are indicator of good fishing. When this baitfish pushes in sea trout, redfish and ladyfish will be close behind. This is a good time to look for terns and egrets working glass minnows. When you see this taking place this is a good indication that sea trout and redfish are feeding under them. Stop and give this area a “fishing try!” Believe me, this could be a target rich catching and moving environment. Approach quietly so as not to spook while keeping “eyes wide” to look for fish feeding signs.

The whiting bite has been pretty good, not awesome but pretty good. Most of these fish are small 9 ½ or 10 inches with some bigger ones mixed in. One fisherman says he only keeps fish 11 or 12 or bigger. This is a pretty good rule of thumb. Small whiting can be fatally damage when unhooking so use care.

Sea trout are starting to roe up. As sea trout become laden with roe anticipate the bite to shift to the sounds. The rule to thumb especially in this case is to only keep what you want to eat and release the rest! A large roe trout can produce a lot of serious potential catches for years to come! This is where you camera comes into play offering up some good concrete bragging rights!

The last couple of years seemed to have been fair to below average years for cobia. So far there are reports of some nice being caught in the Broad River even in windy conditions. Live eels appear to be the bait of choice. The bait lists for a cobia can be anything from small pieces of bait to live fish. Cobias are natural born feeders with an attitude. It’s more about what gets their attention than what they are going to eat!

Bait shrimp is still available in the Savannah area. Usually there are a few weeks during the spring when shrimp become scares in local bait shops. Maybe this year will be the exception but don’t count on it. Capt. Wild Bill Jarrell says Rayburn of Yellow Bluff development was having difficulty in finding shrimp. Which is hard to believe, because he is one of the “masters” when it comes to the catching of shrimp! Shrimp season for the large boats opened last week. Local boats are still at dock. When fishermen see shrimp boats in the sounds the bait in! Capt. Wendell Harper says, do you fish shrimp boats? Fishing close to shrimp boats can produce a variety of fish. When setting an anchor fish close, but definitely not obstructing the “shrimpers” course.

Hope this of helps! Keep a few sea trout, whiting or flounders when desiring some fish to eat. Always go light on take of reds or preferably release reds for another day. Good Fishing! Capt. Jack McGowan

Captain Eric Traub Of Miss Judy Charters is back! His short sabbatical is over!

The old season Captain Eric has been fishing for many years not just as a charter captain, but also for some serious catching fun. The fact of the matter is that when he isn’t fishing for work he is fishing for pleasure keeping in touch with the fish. Believe me, this is one thing that you have to do when you want to get “your bite on!”

Captain Eric has come up with a “fool proof fish catching plan.” As you know most all of these reports are about charter fishermen that fish with us. The rule of thumb when taking a customer out fishing is to aid them the best way you can towards catching a fish! Since they don’t fish all of the time it comes down to offering up the simplest way and the most fun way to get a fish on to their hook. Spotted sea trout are predators and as well as hard hitters. However, timing is everything when using a traditional float rig, because you have to know when to set that hook or your fish will be gone. It’s very frustrating to get lots of hits and still not be able to hook up. So therefore Captain Eric came up with an up most fool proof plan, which can help those that don’t fish a lot and those that don’t care too much for the “sinking of the cork!” Please don’t think that I am saying this method replaces the traditional float rig, because it doesn’t. It’s just another way to “ get hooked!”

Captain Eric foolproof idea is basically bottom fishing. However, there is a twist to his method. He is using very light tackle. His main line is 10 to 12 pound test. If you don’t have this size I’m not suggesting you go out and buy it. However, if you want a good reason to purchase a new set up I am going to offer you a good one! To the main line he is tying on a ¾ ounce sinker. You can use a regular trout sinker or a slip sinker, whichever you are most comfortable with. In Captain Eric’s case he is using a regular trout style sinker. For leader material (line between the sinker and hook) he is using 15-pound test monofilament line. To the leader he is tying on a 2/0 Kale hook, which in some cases is called a “wide gap hook.” For bait he is using live shrimp. He is hooking his bait just as if he is using a cork. He is placing the hook through the shrimp’s horn, which is located on the top of the head. This application doesn’t kill the shrimp and basically allows it to swim getting the trout’s attention. After are they are natural born killers first before they eat!

Lets assume that you have put your rig together, got bait hooked up, and your are in a good trout holding situation. When using the old traditional rig you would simply cast it to the location, wait for the old cork to sink, and set the hook at the proper time. In other words, “you become a cork watcher, which is what some fishermen prefer. In this case, since there is no corks involved you become a rod holder with one main rule of thumb. When you feel pressure you just start reeling. There is no setting of the hook; because by the time you feel pressure you are most likely going to be already hooked up. I am not saying for one moment that this rig will take the place of the traditional float because it certainly won’t! However, when fish locations are known and it’s not necessary to float your bait into an area this particular application is “hands down” the one to use. Heck, you might have to use the traditional float rig to find them and the bottom rig to successfully catch them. This is not just a rig geared to those that don’t fish much. It can be most effective especially when the trout bite is “slow on the take!”

When using this rig any live bait will work shrimp, yellow tails, finger mullet, and mud minnows.

Here’s my scenario on why this application works:

When using a traditional trout rig the bait actually floats in from the surface. In some cases if you don’t get a hit it might be due to the fact that the fish can see the leader first. This can certainly detour the fish’s bite. This would be your sign to go with a lesser pound test leader. When using the bottom rig the bait is first anchored from the bottom and it normally swims up more naturally up. However, the same detouring of the hit can take place if the fish can see the leader. The 30-inch leader works well, because it gives your bait more freedom to “roam the lower range.” This is normally where the fish bite takes place. Have you ever noticed after casting your float rig that as soon as it lands your bait tries to jump out of the water? I am sure you have seen this act many times. It means that you have arrived to the right spot. However, those jump means your potential hooked up was missed. When using the bottom rig “no jumps are possible!’ I think you get my point!
Cobia Fishing

This was my father’s favorite fish to target. According to daddy they offer great sport, were accessible, meaning not far offshore, and not only that, but they tasted “REAL GOOD!”

My father used a lure called “CISCO kid,” in which to get this fish’s attention. On most occasions, once spotting the surface feeding fish, a minor cast of the world famous “CISCO kid’ resulted in a real solid hook up. However as time went on so did the cobia bite! This lure worked well, because you really didn’t have to make it swim like a fish to get the cobia’s attention. Most of the time the fish would jump on the lure. If the fish act procedure didn’t work, which meant “no fast hit” daddy would go in to the Slapping the lure mode!” This boiled down to the fact that he would reel the lure to end of the rod and basically “slam it on the surface!” This act normally worked, making the cobia so mad that it jumped on the lure. However, as time went on I can only assume that in “cobia training school” these fish were taught to “stray away from such lure slapping foolishness!”

During this time live bait was another, if you had it at the time, good bait of choice. However, once presenting the bait, if the fish didn’t like it or wasn’t hungry for your choice, that’s all you had. My father fished live baits such as pinfish, prawn shrimp (real large live shrimp), small blue crabs, eels, and small ocean catfish. All of these baits worked when presented with a beefed up traditional float rig. Yes, I am talking about a spotted sea trout/ red fish float style rig. Beefing it up goes like this. I suggest using at least 20 to 50 pounds as main line. The leader between the trout sinker and hook should be at least 30 to 50 pounds. Fluorocarbon leader material would be a good leader material to use. However, as you know this leader material hasn’t been on the market that long, at least not over fifty years. Back in the old days we used straight monofilament line. We hooked and landed lots of fish. The largest landing made by me was in the year of 1972. The total landing, which I am almost sorry to admit, was “28 total cobia.” They ranged in weight from 10 to 60 pound. But as you know that’s another one of those stories that I need to share with you at a later date!

The best hook to use is going to be a “J” (extra strength) 4/0 to 5/0. The secret to the hook choice is to make sure that the hook doesn’t over-power your bait. When using too large of a hook the bait will not be able to swim naturally, which is some cases is good. However, more times not! Wounded or drunken bait swim isn’t bad. However, sideway and unnatural means your targeted fish might get nervous and your bait will tire too quickly!

Bait Catching History and Talk!

Back in the old days, there weren’t any known gold hook bait rigs. The only fishermen that had figured out this style of fishing were the Chinese/Vietnamese. They weren’t sharing much of their fishing accomplishments. I watched as they caught lines of fish from small to large, but didn’t have any idea what the heck they were doing. They had this “fish catching thing down pat!” All they used was a flexible cane pole, which had one placed eye on the very end of the so-called rod. They would stick their hand in a tin can, which had both ends removed. This was their manual reel. As I watched them hold the pole with one hand and wind the line on the tin can it become clear how the invention of the actual handle-spinning reel must have came about. Their bait or should I say, “rig” looked at least from a distance, just like our “gold bait hooks.” However, the amount and size of fish that they were slinging into the boat meant that probably their hooks were must bigger and stronger. However, it did seem that they were in a long line and placed real close together. I don’t know about you, but I can’t say that I remember ever dropping my gold hook bait rig when I didn’t catch a fish. It might have not been what I was looking for but it was fish. This brings to mind once again a serious fish catching thought. Six hooks in a line definitely gets a sequence of bite going making all with in range jealous causing a feeding frenzy! Think about it!

Fishing an “UP WELLING!”

An “UP-WELLING” is formed when continuous current passes over a large ledge or hole. When this happens I call it the old “Domino Effect.” The currents in the open water flow very steady and strong once everything gets “in step.” As you know we have a tide change every 6 hours meaning that at the end and turn of every tide there is what is called “some sort of slack current situation.” So therefore the first couple of hours of the tide change no matter, which direction it’s heading, is the slackest times. Once all current are what I call “in step” the big push of the tide is the strongest. As long as this moving is not detoured all waters/current pretty much roll in the same directions. However, when it comes to moving over a ledge, hole, or intersection your get “differential” in the flow of things. This is when an “up welling” can and normally is formed. Now that this information is out of the way I can get to the meat of this report.

Let’s get right to the most important part of the “UP WELLING!” When currents take on a new shape any thing included debris and bait are caught up in this cycle. As all fishermen know, “where you have fish you have fish!” Large as well as smaller fish will stage where they think they are the safest or where they can feed the most. When you find out where any of these “hotspots” are this where you need to fish.

Last week while trolling for king mackerel I found myself being pulled back to the same spot. I didn’t realize it at first because it was so rough, but the spot was where an “UP WELLING” was taking place. The reason I didn’t notice it right away was because it was so rough making the pattern even more broken. While approaching the spot in which every time I trolled across I got a hit or hookup, it become apparent I had found myself an offshore “Pot of Gold!” A large wave had built right in front of me as I approached the spot and I noticed a lot of ”underwater hanging” live Sargasso weed. The reason I emphasized, “live Sargasso weed” was because when it’s alive it’s floating and it’s gold in color. When it’s dead, it’s dark brown and doesn’t really float that much. You can see it, but it’s mostly underwater, because the air sacks that help float it have collapsed. The weeds that I was looking at was live, but still under the water. The reason being is that it’s was caught up in the “Up WELLING,” which was continuously dragging it down-under. I had noticed a Sargasso laced rip pass by, but the surface current quickly pulled it away. However, while it was passing over the ledge, which was producing the “UP WELLING” some clumps of, this weed was sucked down into the water column forming my own personal “TARGET RICH ENVORIMENT!”

Once it became clear to me where the grass was holding down-under I completely avoided pulling across it. I pulled the outskirts, which produced more hits and hooks up. When I was pulling across it I was catching but some of this action was from “hooking up the weeds!” The moral of this fishing report is a simple one: Where weeds are hanging “fish are-a-feeding!” There are those fishermen that just pull lures and then there are those that actually look at there surrounding bringing back that old southern saying “here’s your sign!”

Small Baits Big Fish

As I was fishing the other day it dawned on me that there have been more than several occasions when the largest fish of the day hits the smallest bait/lure in my trolling spread. This past week I have been doing a lot of trolling for king mackerel. We have been catching quite a few kings in the 7 to 25 pound range. In fact it has been years since this many kings in this short of time span, have been pulled over my boat gunnels. All fish were caught with the simplest lure on the market. I have been using the ever-popular by the king fish “31/2 Drone Spoon!”

The past week proved to be very interesting in the “Smoker King Mackerel Department!” Keith Davis of Eastman, Georgia hooked a big one for sure! As I was trolling 31/2 Drone spoons at my normal trolling speed of 7 knots a large king mackerel slammed it. I guess I should start from the beginning since it going to be important to this particular story. As we trolled in the morning we had several hard and strong hits. With our drags on our reels almost totally tighten down it is going to take a large fish to get any relief. When Keith’s fish hit the lure I thought the reel was going to come apart. At least that’s what it sounded like. Most fish that hit a spoon can be reeled in to the planer, leader-ed in, and slung over the gunnels into the cooler. However, there wasn’t “any just reeling” in involved with this hooked 50 pound plus king mackerel.

Keith was in the “hard reeling stage,” which means he felt like his arm was going to fall off before he landed the fish. As the fish fought line was stripped from the reel more than a few times. I normally don’t take the boat out of gear for fear of the hooked fish swimming right off the hook. When a kingfish hit a moving spoon normally a hole is formed where the hook get lodged. The hole gets longer as the reeling in is accomplished. I knew that fish would definitely swim off the hook if Keith or I (boat action) gave the big king any slack in the line. However, the fish was pulling so hard I was afraid that something might give. I selected to pull the boat in and out of gear giving both the fish and the fisherman a chance to get in step with the flow of things! After quite a few minutes Keith’s arm, in which he is normally uses a left-handed reel, finally gave out and started cramping. I have to admit I don’t think I would have lasted as long as he did using a wrong handled reel for me. He handed the rod to Oscar Mincey. With new blood and the persistence reeling the planer was reeled to the end of the rod. This fish was finally “leadered” to the boat where more action followed. Captain Ali Young, my first mate for over thirty years knew this was big fish. However, she hadn’t laid an eye on the fish to make a positive identification when she started bringing the fish to the stern. As soon as she got the less than ½ inch from being a 5-foot long king mackerel to the boat, she screamed I need a gaff now! I was stunned at first, but quickly jumped up and grabbed two gaffs. This way I figured I would be covered in the event I dropped one. With the boat now out of gear, time was crucial, due to the fact the longer the fish stayed in the water the more apt we were to loose it. I looked down as Captain Ali pulled at the unwilling fish. As soon as she brought it up, hand lining 30 feet plus, I made my stab at the fish. Believe me a fish this big isn’t hard to hit. Anywhere the gaff lands is where you had best make it stay. I struck the fish and Captain Ali Screamed, “have you got it?” I answered “no,” because I knew the fish was still green! We both pulled the fish over the gunnels and we both jumped out of the way as it’s final life exploded on the deck!

This was a big king mackerel for sure! It lacked ½ inch from being exactly 5 foot long. It weighted in at about 50 pounds with all of us having a hard to time trying to pick this fish up! After all our adrenaline had stopped by now! The bottom line to this report is a simple one. Firstly, this is just goes to show you that even when doing regular fishing such as this, anything can happen. Secondly, we caught this fish right at high noon. Prior to this landing and after there wasn’t any fish that even came close to the size of this Monster King! A large congratulation goes out to Keith Davis!

Bottom Fishing the Live Bottom Areas

Bottom fishing can be fun, but when targeting just the big ones it can get a little tricky.

Gulf Stream

Did I go to far?

I fished this area for many years and as I look back definite feeding patterns were formed. My up most gold when I headed out to this area was to get some fish in the box so that my customers good feel good about the day. I normally started my day with bottom fishing. For those that troll only, please read on, because there is a reason mentioning the subject of bottom fishing. As I said earlier, “bottom fishing was normally first on my list of priorities for the day!” While I was bottom fishing I put out a rigged something such as a ballyhoo or heck sometimes a live fish. My favorite plan of catching attack in this field while bottom fishing was to put out a live fish such as a red porgy or pinfish. My other technique was even simpler. I would lower one of my out riggers, let out a rigged ballyhoo dressed up with whatever skirt design that I had, hook it in the rigger clip, run my line up the rigger, and simply let it hang in the lower water column anywhere from 50 to 100 feet. If I didn’t get a hit with 15 minutes I would change hanging bait depths.

Here’s what I found out that should be good information for you at this time especially when your game is trolling. Firstly, we caught a lot of large Wahoo in the near to over 100 pound range. Most of the Wahoo were caught while live lining. Now I’m not suggesting that you switch from trolling to live lining. However, I am going to suggest that when you find yourself over some live bottom to slow a bit so as to let those rigged baits fall in the water column. It’s a known fact that Wahoo stage around live bottom areas looking to score a quick meal.

Most of the live bottom areas that I fished especially at this time of the year was in 150 feet of water. With that being said, I suggest stopping short of the 200 feet of watermark. Here’s my take on the reasoning behind this suggestion:

Trolling the blue waters of the stream is very popular at this time of the year. Most fishermen try to find the best source to fish, which is ledges and rips while focusing on the blue water edge. Now it’s no big secret that during the first of the season that the edge is the happening place, because of the bait. Bait holds here during this time, because the temperature is comfortable for them and there is a food source. As you know, when this happens where there is fish there is fish! However, as the surface temperatures warm from this time frame bait fish have a tendency to spread their fins. They still move with the comfortable temperatures, but they are not as isolated as they are in early spring. So therefore I guess you could say, “After spring has good and sprung bait realms change!” I’m not going to say at this time that bait always migrates to the west, but it sure looks that way. (Indications are strong that this is exactly what is happening!) With that being said, “stopping short and dragging those baits before making it to the edge is certainly a great way to get some early action. All this information boils down to one thing, “most of my fish caught at this time was in 150 to 170 feet of water.”

These depths don’t necessarily have live bottom down under, because at this time it’s not about live bottom. It’s about location, location, locations in regards to the bait. Just to re-cap: When the water temperature warms baitfish head deeper into the western side of the edge. As this migration takes place the large fish let their instincts be their guide. Now that you know what the other side of the coin is doing I suggest using it to your best catching advantage!

My new motto, "If I'm running I'm fishing!"

I am still pulling my high-speed lures everywhere I go. The good news is that as the water temperatures warm large fish could be anywhere from the shore to the blue waters of the stream. With that being said, “drag it.” For the best choice in lures I suggest giving Darrell a call 1 714 545 0197 or visiting his interesting web site www.ballyhoo.com

Just A Note…. As you know I am always talking about all kinds of lures. There are those that work and then there are those that look good but really don’t offer anything for the fish. The ones that don’t work at least for me don’t usually make the fishing report! These lures work!

430 HOLE

Captain Little Tommy and Big Tommy Williams are at it once again. As you know Little Tommy Williams, which now fishes full time with Miss Judy Charters, “cut his teeth while blue water fishing!” He loves to fish and the good news is even if he doesn’t have a charter he still goes fishing! I must add to those that don’t know, Captain Little Tommy’s family has re-opened a new seafood restaurant call not Williams Seafood, but “FLYING FISH!” It’s located at 7906 Highway 80 East next Sander’s Country Store. Their phone number is 912 897 2009. Our customers have been catching fish, taking them to the restaurant, and they have been “cooking them up!” Heck, for those that didn’t get to go-a-catching, the food here is GREAT!

The report is labeled “430 Hole,” which probably got your attention right off. I know this number got mine when the report was made. The 430 Hole probably isn’t going to be found on most charts. I know it’s not on mine. This area is locating about 70 miles east of the Deli Ledge. It’s a hole that is about 2,600 feet deep. The top of the steepest part starts at 1,700 feet and it drops straight down to about 2,600 feet. This has under water mountains written all over it! Basically, it’s a hole that has a circular edge.

After arriving to this area they found the water temperature to be about 81 degrees. The fish bite was big meaning all that was landed weighted over fifty pounds. And all that was lost probably tipped the scales over this weight. This is the spot where long liners target “sword fish,” because this is where this fish would be most at home. It’s a great place to find food that comes in big sizes making for large mouth fulls!
For bait the standard rigged ballyhoo and like wise trolling patterns were used. All baits were pulled on or near the surface. It would be foolish to go with any other style in this depth of water unless you could get your bait real deep!

When arriving at said location they notice that the stream, which normally moves to the north was detoured once it flowed over this area. The direction of the stream turned and headed east. An “Up Whelling” of grand portions was formed when the current passed over the deepest part of the circle. The steepest part is located at the north side of the hold. According to the report the “Up Whelling” formed was so large that it you could see some of the nutrients being brought to the surface forming an unbelievable target rich fishing environment. The Williams Team watched as birds had a “field day of feeding!” This is the area they successfully worked and caught as well as lost some real nice fish. This scenario is when the “430 Hole is ripe for fishing!”

All I have said would fall under the good news about this area. Now unfortunately I have to list the bad news. Normally to reach this area you have to travel at least 50 miles into the stream. Fishermen that want to give this area a try need to be aware of fuel consumption, because of the long ride to arrive. Weather should be an up most factor in whether or not to go in the first place. Once you cross over the standard blue water fishing area you should consider yourself committed to your destination point. This boils down to if you plan on seriously going to this spot and the weather allows it’s a long ride to get there, but can be well worth the ride. It’s also suggested that you carry a working satellite phone with you on this particular ride to these “other waters!”

Just a few side notes about this particular area:

It’s offshore of the Charleston Bump. It’s deeper than the 225 or the 380 hole, but this area offer same similarity. It’s located 26 miles south of the 226 hole.

Four Fishermen and a 23-foot Boat!

Gregg Sherman, Ryan Tuck, Chris Garrette, and Jason Bryant took a great blue water ride to the stream. Making the bumpy ride on Jason’s boat “Live Wire” turned out to be well worth it. As soon as they got their lines in the water a 67-pound Wahoo slammed one of their baits, took the angler on a speed-full run, and the fish was landed quick fashion. The next fish was another Wahoo that weighted in at around 35 pound range. To top the already first exciting part of the day a sailfish showed up and took a little batting practice at one of their baits. This was short lived, because as soon as the bait was “free spooled” back the sail jumped on it. The bill was successfully landed and carefully released to fight another day. The rest of the day pretty much was full of catching, billing, fighting, slinging, and gaffing! The end results went something like this: 12 dolphin, 2 Wahoo, and 1 sailfish! Now for the part that you aren’t going to believe, all of this catching on a 23-foot boat!
Freshies Suggestions
How to get the best shot at big allusive fish!
Large mouth bass probably are the most sought after freshwater fish. At least that’s what the magazines and the papers proclaim. They are the sexiest for sure! When I think about large mouth bass I think about big fish with a feeding attitude. However, like everything else when you have fish that have serious attitudes, feeding patterns are formed, which is where this tip can help you master a serious catching plan.

During clear water day’s bass don’t move much during bright light periods. This is one of those instincts that keep them aware that “danger comes from above.” When the sun climbs clear water bass normally do two things: Move into to heavy vegetation in shallow water or drop back into deep water. These areas offer them a comfort zone! Fish here! If the opposite happens and the clouds cover the sun all day or there is a breeze that offer ripples on the surface you might just find yourself with an extended feeding period! In other words “go with what you have in the way of conditions, but use them to your advantage!

“Little Miss Judy’s Believe It or Not!”

Liquor of a different kind!

My father always use to say, “I’m going to have a drink of a different kind. It’s was called “OP!” These initials mean “Other People,” which boils down to other people’s liquor. According to my father this is when he drank the most and it tasted the best!!

Here’s my line now bite my hook!
