Well, went to New Town Sunday and met up with a friend that was staying down there, fished south.
Fish bite was slow, but managed 5 fish in the well on spinners & crawlers 10-20 fow, biggest one was around 3 lbs, few small dinks, I lost two fish, he lost two fish, both lost tackle twice, I suspect to slough shark, caught 1, he netted it. Looked to be around 5-6 lbs, he preceeds to get it out of the net by putting his finger under that gill, well at that time, the damn thing starting thrashing around, cut his finger pretty good. He thought he had a first aid kit in storage, I searched found nothing. He got a pair of socks wet the day before, so we used that to wrap the finger with. There were a few boaters around, so we asked the nearest one if they had a first aid kit, they happen to have a few things, large bandage and tape. Kiddo to the boat the helped us out, never got there names. That did the trick.
If you don't already, have a small first kit in the boat or in the tackle box, he said thats the first thing he's gonna buy when he gets into town monday. I ordered a small one for my tackle box.
You never know what you should have on the boat or on hand till the time comes that you need one and its not there. We fished from 9 am to 230 ish, said his finger was throbbing like hell so we called it a day. I know whats thats like, I cut my finger pretty bad once that required 5 stitches, not fun, so I felt his pain. I checked with him later in the evening, just a bad cut, no stitches required, cleaned it out and re bandaged it.
Have a good day everybody:;:thumbsup
