Cold and Windy Fishing

Yesterday never saw 65 degrees and winds blew over 20 all day. Ken and Mike coming from Michigan had no problem with this.

Can I take CBD gummies with other medications?

CBD (cannabidiol) has gained popularity for its potential health benefits, leading many to consider incorporating it into their daily routine. However, a pressing concern for numerous individuals is whether CBD gummies can be safely consumed alongside other medications.

Introduction to CBD Gummies and Medications
CBD gummies are edible candies infused with cannabidiol, a compound extracted from the cannabis plant. They’re popular for their ease of use and the potential benefits they offer, including stress relief, pain management, and aiding sleep.

Understanding how medications interact with substances like CBD is crucial. Medication interactions can significantly impact the effectiveness of both the medication and the substance being consumed, potentially leading to adverse effects.

The Mechanism Behind CBD and Medication Interactions
CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, influencing various receptors and neurotransmitters. This interaction can affect the way certain enzymes in the body metabolize medications, potentially altering their effectiveness or concentration in the bloodstream.

Certain medications, especially those metabolized by the liver’s cytochrome P450 enzymes, may experience interactions with CBD. These interactions can either inhibit or enhance the medication’s effects, leading to unexpected outcomes.

Common Medications that Interact with CBD
Several medications are known to interact with CBD, including but not limited to certain antidepressants, antipsychotics, blood thinners, and medications for epilepsy or heart conditions. Understanding the specific interactions and potential risks is crucial for individuals using these medications.

Factors Affecting CBD-Medication Interactions:

Dosage and potency of both CBD and the medication play a significant role in their interaction. Additionally, individual health factors such as metabolism and overall health condition can influence the extent of these interactions.

Guidelines for Taking CBD Gummies with Other Medications
To safely consume CBD gummies alongside other medications:

Consult a healthcare professional before starting CBD gummies.
Monitor for any adverse effects or changes in medication effectiveness.
Consider starting with low doses and gradually increasing to assess tolerance.

We went wearing our boat shoes to keep our feet warm, fishing was slow in the morning, but we ended up with a 18 pound mahi, 15 pound kingfish, 10 pound mutton snapper and 2 silky sharks.

Needing more fishing, Ken and Mike fished the evening trip as well. This trip produced several small jacks, 2 tatpon and a snook. We read this article on PumpupBoats which motivated us a lot, even though the weather wasn’t really good.

The bite has really kicked into overdrive this month, and shows zero signs of stopping. My Dusky 256 Fisherman’s Cuddy and the twin ‘Zukes have put over 750 hours on these fish already this season, and they seem hungry for more each morning performing flawlessly each and every time I leave the dock on the hunt. There have been no shortage of good times and lots of hot action for the elusive bluefin. Each and every trip that has left the dock this month has seen multiple hookups, all with the insanely light gear we use in the “run and gun” tuna game. Spinning reels and small overhead(conventional) jigging reels have been getting artificial lures in front of herds of turned-on tuna feeding on the abundant natural bait we have been blessed with all season. The success rates for laned fish vary with luck, natural obstacles, other boats, and skill all having a play in the outcomes. Despite the hurdles, we have had fish on the deck early, and often these days here at Coastal Charters Sportfishing.

This was the best holiday ever, a tailor made holiday means you’ll see everything you want to, the fish have been bunched up in tight schools finally, and are once again starting to get aggressive as competition increases amongst the fish in each school. The light spectrums are starting to change to a bit of light orange and red, and the nights are starting to get cooler than the days, triggering the first signs of the great late summer and fall runs we look forward to here in Cape Cod. There have been so many opportunities, and tired anglers that don’t mind letting one or two schools go by without getting fired up and looking to come tight to a bluefin, that I have been able to capture some incredible still shots of feeding schools, as well as others just traveling under the surface sunning themselves and digesting in the mid day hours when the sun is high.Bluefin tuna feeding on sand eels in a foaming frenzy!

“Running” bluefin tuna, a term locals use to describe common schooling behavior after feeding. The fish get up in tight schools and “run” down tide at the surface, sunning themselves.

A successful angler fooled this nice 120 pound bluefin tuna with a surface plug worked on light tackle spinning gear.

The sizes of the tuna has continued to impress as i could not fit them in my igloo countertop ice maker, with many different year-class fishing showing up with the average being about 75-100 pounds, with some smaller and even a few over 150 pounds! Each trip has seen opportunity to land both slot sizes for the charter permits I carry aboard my Dusky. The amount of tasty loin provided from just 2 of these fish can afford many a fresh meal for family and friends, with plenty left over to freeze or smoke for future enjoyment. I have been fortunate enough to get a bit of loin or some belly meat for some delicious sashimi, nice to savor the fruits of your labor from time to time….enjoy life, get out and fish, eat, drink, and be happy, I’ve also brought clothing for the cold weather including my alpaca accessories great for trips like this. For my next fishing adventure I want to try fishing on Cayman Islands!!! I know it would be fun too…
