Well Fellas, some things are just meant to be. We left for a double overnighter this Friday to great weather and fantastic company. After deciding at the last minute to take the Don Smith over the cat for the double overnighter we left the dock headed for the promise land. The first night was fairly uneventful with 4 bites and no fish then Sat was loaded with deep drop excitement. We KILLED the golden tiles with the Precision Auto Reel; we must have cranked up 25 miles of line! Anyway it was getting dark and we decided to start swording again. We get to the spot first line out and 10 minutes later well history was made... Congrats Shayne on the new Texas State Record Broadbill. With Wacker as our teacher our group of friends have set the mark to beat in Lone Star Sword fishing. Our team was fan-freaking-tastic. People seldom realize that fishing is a true team sport, there is NO WAY this fish could have hit the deck without the effort of everyone on board. It was just one of those nights that everything went perfect. Shayne is a true machine on the rod and a hell of a guy, I look forward to many great trips in the future. That man could crank in a train. Wacker thanks for teaching us the art of sword fishing and being the reason that all of us were in the position we were last night. Until the day I die I can say I leadered the TEXAS State Record Sword Fish! Shayne that fish is going to look AWESOME in your den!!!! Don the new Savage Rod "The BEAST" had one hell of a welcome. The rod is the best I have ever seen and did everything it was supposed to and more, just ask Shayne! I think everyone will chime in here. And Oh YEA SUPERMAP IS THE SHIT!!!! BOOM!!!!

This is taken from a post on FryingPanTower.Com about Wahoo fishing but I thought ya'll my like to read this part...

Temp breaks are very important....in the spring and fall when warm water is here and cold water is there. This time of year it is ALL warm. If you look at any SST shot it will look "Muddeled". Unless they "Dumb" it down to say 1 degree breaks. (We do not do this...we give you the temp...Kind of like a color scope vs a b/w with fish symbols)

SST's can very good this time of year showing you the movement of the water. IT is this movement during the warm months that you pay attention to.

Here is what I do....
I pull up an SST....Find the Correct Temp Range...

This is the Modis Shot from Aug 31st 2:24 am ->Color Ramp->All (I clicked on the image)

You can see where the hot water is pushing over the break...



Now I flip over to Clor....
The Modis Clor shot suxed so I used teh SeaView Shot...
IF though the shot kind of suxs you can that there is Blue Water to the North and Green Water Inshore. This matches what we are seeing in the SST Image....



Now I flip over to SSH in SeaView
You can see HIGH water to the North and Offshore and LOW water South and Inshore. Once angain we see the same pattern right along the break where the even water is.



Now SeaView Salinty...
You see the SAME Feature....


and Last But Not Least....My Personal Favorite
SeaView Mixed Layer Depth...

This one is Zoomed in the Area in Question....


This shows two Troughs of LOW MLD being pushed tot he North.

What we want to do is fish right inbetween the area of HIGH Thermocline and LOW thermocline. It is this area that is the "Converance Zone" as discussed in Fish Finding from Space, The Hand Book.

LYNNHAVEN INLET, Va. - A Good Samaritan and the crew of a Coast Guard cutter rescued six people from a sinking boat one and a half miles northeast of Lynnhaven Inlet at 12:15 p.m. Sunday.

The crew of the Canyon Express relayed the 28-foot Carolina Classic boat, Fishbones, initial distress to the Coast Guard at about 8:30 a.m. as they were taking on water about 30 miles east of Elizabeth City, N.C. They were only able to control flooding by accelerating up on plane. The crew of the fishing boat Going Deep escorted them to Lynnhaven Inlet where they slowed down and sank. The crew of Going Deep and the Coast Guard Cutter Sea Horse, an 87-foot patrol boat, each rescued three people from the water.

A Station Little Creek 45-foot response boat crew transferred all six people to shore where they were checked and cleared by EMS.

"We heard about them on the radio this morning and had been following the case all day," said Master Chief Petty Officer William James, captain of the Sea Horse. "When we heard they were going to Lynnhaven Inlet, we decided to patrol in that area in case anything went bad - and it did. Just after they passed us we heard their distress call and we turned around and picked them up."]]> no_email@example.com (Capt_Dave) http://www.virginia-offshore.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=23#23 http://www.virginia-offshore.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=22#22
If it is muddy/green water. The trolling fish will turn off somewhat. The trick here is to find "Clean" water. and then fish the break between Clean/Dirty water.

Bottom fishing is a little different. Stirring up the bottom can be a good thing ....but....you have to more accurate with your bait presentation. IE: You have to hit the mark. If not there is so much in the water that the fish will not bother to come to your bait.
