Yesterday I fished with friends Dave, Jim (Tenacious) and Mike. Nice guys, all. It was really nice having an experienced crew. I got to drive my boat and rib the crew for a change. :clapping2:
We left the inlet about 30 minutes late, waiting for it to get lighter and for the fog to lift a bit, behind the charters. Visibility improved greatly a few miles outside the inlet, but t-storms were around and it was pretty lumpy running. We found a weedline with flyers at the 450 line and managed to pull 9 large to small gaffers off it, until the storms churned up the seas and the weed line, making it difficult to fish and wondering if we should pack it in and make a run for the inlet. Because the storms were all around us, we decided to stay and kept a charter in sight for an hour or so, in case we needed to tuck in behind him. When the wx improved we tried blindly for tiles to no avail and then ran north to the 550-600 area where we found yellowfins skying occasionally and charters working for a slow pick. We worked the area hard to no avail. The run back to the inlet was really nice, almost flat by the time we got to the inlet. I dozed on a bean bag in the corner of the cockpit with Captain Dave at the helm. Thanks, crew, for another memorable day on the water. Thanks also to David, VTFisher, for checking on us now and then.
