Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

Man its officially a blurr for me..been gone 8 straight days and some nights on the water..did not miss the computer which along with the digital camera are broken anyway ..maybe the cell phone will croak too....on to the fishing..the blue marlin bite was wide open early last week as expected with the influx of fresh blue water and bait..I said to the guys that I was expecting good things out of the trip but never expected so much action in 12 hours..had 6 billfish bites last Tuesday and tagged 2 blues one of which came off a double on each rigger bait..even released a 200 pound Mako shark which hit a marlin bait off the transom..had him on the leader twice but couldn't get the flyer throught the leather before he cut through the mono..not sure where we would have put him anyway..the rest of the time was pretty much business as usual..long runs, floaters, live bait and chum..all in all 32 yellowfin tuna, 1 rainbow runner and 5 bull dolphin made it to the cleaning table between Darryl, Chris and myself..could barely stand yesterday or remember all the names except for yesterday's group with Albert Holeman, who is one of those guys who has to catch a Marlin..tried taking the day off but Albert got wind of the wide open bite on bills last week and drove all the way down from Tuscaloosa to cash in..as it would be the beautiful rip that he and I had heard of was reduced to scattered grass in bluewater 35 miles offshore..set a 7 line spread in open water with only a barracuda to show by noon..about that time Albert retired to the AC for a nap..not 2 minutes later the right rigger exploded with what looked to be a small blue or large white.. Darryl did the best he could to clear lines and keep the fish on while Albert made his way into the chair..missing all the acrobatics in the 45 seconds it took for him to respond to the excitement..settled in for a short fight on heavy tackle just as we got control of the fish it came up greyhounding straight toward the boat (with no sight of the leader in tow)..fish on fish off..finished the day with our limit of jacks on the way in..next time..Darryl is out today and Sonny the next few days..I am catching up on sleep and bills..posted a few pictures from customer cameras that were waiting in my inbox..Paradise Outfitters..985-845-8006 or check us out ONLINE!
