it’s so on!Thursday, April 30th, 2009 by MC |
well…sort of on.
Needing a temporary reprieve from life above the surface, we made time to jump in the water at an inshore wreck earlier this week. Though the water was a nippy 50ish degrees and the viz was horrible, we had an absolutely fine time.
Nearing hypothermia, Delaney popped a fat 21 inch Tautog. It was the only fish we saw on the wreck, but with 3 feet of vizability, it could have been one unlucky fish separated from many others hiding just out of sight. In my opinion, it’s a little cold for blackfish inshore.
It was great to be back in the water and diving, excited for the return of the Stripers and Tog, warmer water, and better viz to come.
Dr. Delaney is looking a lot like Bill Murray in his groundbreaking performance as Steve Zissou in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. He’d be perfect in the prequel as a young “Stevsie” cutting his chops as an unpaid intern. Get him a speedo and a glock!
