5-23-10 Young Guns Part 2

[Hoopa Drives The Boat]

The young guns were back at it aboard the Akula this past Sunday. We had a late departure due to this thing called work interfering with my fishing schedule but did manage an hour and ½ fishing time exploring the inshore waters. Crew for this one was my sons Jack and Brody and their buds Sean and Brennan. The zebcos were outfitted with 2 and 6 ounce single hook diamond jigs and 8lb test mono. We started targeting macks putting a few in the box. Then we decided to send the jigs to the bottom and bam - keeper rock cod came over the rails along with some harbor pollack. The boys were back in form with Jack and Sean on the rods and Brennan chasing them around the deck getting them in the box. Brody was absent sleeping in the forward bunk with visions of chicken nuggets and Dora the explorer in his head. So we now have 2 trips under our belts with macks on the first one and keeper rock cod on the second. Now they are already talkin stripers and shark/tuna for their next trip. It’s gotta be a genetic thing! Does anyone know of a performance drag kit for zebco reels cause the future mates of the Akula are gonna need them.
