Awesome photos Kelly. I think I have figured it out from reading some of your old posts that you are a swimmer.......explains why you jump out of a perfectly good boat all the time
. Not everyone gets to experience half the stuff you do. Very cool.

Burnsy22:- The "Boogieman" flasher is made by O'ki (Big Shooter).
It is a glow body (whitish sort of), has silver herring-bone prism on one side.
The other side is half gold fish-scale prism and half silver herring-bone prism.
You can get them at most tackle shops.
Great pics, Kelly!

Cool pics Kelly, the video should be awesome too. I'm back at work now and the boat is in the driveway. Maybe we can try that hali thing before you head back or maybe a trip to the river. Let me know. BRS

Finally gave some time to trying a hunch/some info and ran to Sabine Channel Wednesday for sox.
3 hours and all the usual tricks tried. Not a sock to be seen on a hook or on the sounder or on the surface, nor were there any others fishing there so that made it hard to tell if any fish were in the area.
Tried near Sangster for a while and the kid ended up winning a beauty scrap against a 16# spring that was firm and red. Halfway to candy right now!
He had hard time at first since it was on grampa's moocher 2000 and he is used to the freewheel of a Peetz, too funny.
Hit it on a 3" wonder bread with a 7' leader in 80' of water at 73' down. Was trying to scratch up some bottom fish since the kid was bored.
Off to flash up the Bradley.
Smiley.
p.s. good amounts of bigger fish around SC right now

Hey Pippen
Kelly isn't one to brag about his swimming prowess. He will brag endlessly about his fishing, even resorting to name calling and such. He actually called me " Old Man" once.
Check out the following from the Pan Pacific trials last year.
Check out 50 m fly and backstroke

Fished the fingers this afternoon. Lots of undersized jacks still out there, probably caught around 16. Caught two 8 pound keepers. All the action was between Hudson rocks and pipers lagoon on army truck hootchies and green needlefish hootchies. 70 to 110 feet. A little windy out there, but it calmed by the afternoon.

Landed a few 20s today and lost one in a short low tide fish. My buddy landed a 36lb hog beside me aswell as a few smaller. French creek should be heating up. Off to the port derby.
went out today from 6-10 by entrance island to rocky point nailed 3 keepers lost another decent one and let some smaller barely legal ones go. fish were 8, 13 and 23 pounds all caught deep on the chovie. only saw one seal out there thinking maybe theres enough feed around to keep them off the boats for the time being any thoughts?
Yipee
Escaped in the boat yesterday and fished off Fingers in beautiful weather. Lots of grilse, small jacks, some bait marked. One good fish made my day, made me forget for a while all the stresses. Small spoon, 41 lb 2 oz male that fought hard, jumped, tore line, and finally consented to join me in the boat. My best fish ever on this side of the Island.
