I know he's out there.......I can hear him......


Recommended Posts

Rick, we had a REAL close call with him yesterday in front of Olcott. We could hear the fog horn and knew it was close, but the fog was doing funny things to the sound and we couldn't pinpoint a direction till it was right on top of us. All of a sudden it came ghosting out of the fog just behind and to the east of us, heading west. I don't think we were more than 200 feet away when it came into view. I just about put er on plane with rods deployed to get some distance between us. The wake that hit us at that close range was pretty severe. It was close enough when it passed I was worried about my 200' copper hanging up on it.

Damn these fish for deciding they had to hang out in the shipping lanes :)

At least you SAW him, all we got over at Sandy was a THUNDERING HORN that scared the S!@T out of us and put us on high alert till we knew he was just to are north about the time we could hear the prop churning a couple hundred yards behind us
