Maiden voyage of the Reel Beast

[eddie stevenson]

The morning started out with getting the kids out of bed and into the truck! Left the house at 200 am. KIds snoring. Fished from the 280 rocks to overboad and up to the the 400 line. First strike after 30 minutes after lines in and was the first mahi for my oldest son, he was laughing the whole time he fighting the fish. After two hours of pulled hooks and short strikes and twelve hoos later we landed our second mahi. Thirty minutes later and still over board on the 365 had marlin looking but wouldn't bight. KIds jumping up and down, I don't thing they had ever seen a fish of that size before or you think the way they were carrying on. About an hour later we landed our last and final mahi of the day. Back at the dock and found a flat tire on trailer. Thanks to all that ofered a hand . It was a great day for Reel Beast's first voyage.

Thanks for the report. I saw you at the Teach's. I told you about your flat while waiting in line at the ramp. A few years ago I was fishing on a maiden voyage with a friend and we had our flat on the way down.

Tight Lines,
