Wow!!!!! Where to start with this one. After Saturdays dissapointing 0 for 2 (pulled hook and broken leader) I was ready for some redemption for sure. Well we GOT IT and boy did we get it.
The crew for Sunday was the Jennarose clan. This was the first charter booked by Crimson Tide when Fred and I decided to start the business. Good Karma for sure. The only problem was they wanted to go bass fishing. Well lets say it didn't take long to convince them to drag a few bars around.
We depart Green Harbor a little after 5am and I point the boat to the exact spot where the BFT won the day before. I had bites there at both slacks and we marked good fish all day. We arrived to the same scene the day before - birds, bait and busting tuna. Fred sets out the spread in record time and after a few passes the short corner rod goes ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The 50 is screaming and the rest of the spread is cleared. Well let's say this fish was pissed. He worked all anglers on board for a few minutes each until we finally get color and a nice toss of the poon by Fred and bam game over. Taped out at 81" and weighed 260lbs. So I ask the crew if they wanted to go bass fishing and they so F-no lets get another tuna.
So I work the area until about 9am and we are off to the race for some bass. We spent all of an hour putting a few blues and bass in the boat before deciding to run 10 miles south. I told the crew that the bass were thick there a few days earlier and there were also tuna mixed in and it didn's take long for the tuna crack heads to want their next fix.
We arrive to a desert but a good one. NO BOATS and pods of tuna busting everywhere and feeding in reckless abandon. Spread goes out and just after the last rod is out. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz fish number two is on and landed in somewhat deteriating sea conditions. He visits Akula's deck, a tag is inserted and he's on his merry way. 55". Spread goes back out and just after the last rod is set ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ fish number 3 is on. Rod is passed a couple times on this one and we have a nice 71" fattied boatside and is safely released.
Well the seas are building fast and the Akula is steaming through 3-6 foot seas on its way to port to meet "The little white truck". Fantastic day with great crew and REDEMPTION is ours.
