We headed out of Green Harbor a little after first light after a slight delay. We headed off to the bank and arrived at our first destination a little after 6am. The crew set out the secret 6 rod spread and we spent the next couple hours pounding the area until the call came over the radio "Get here now!!!!" from Capt Dom. Well it didn't take long for the spread to get pulled in and the Akula was steamin at warp speed. We arrived to a few boats working a giant mass of fish feeding. Spread went out quickly and now it's a matter of time. So I'm sticking my head out the starboard cabin door and as I'm looking at the riggers and release clips I see the tell tale line stretching and yell "Fish on!!!!!!!", pop goes the clip and the beautiful singing 80W ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The fish dumps a ton of line and Adam is on the rod, I'm at the helm and Fred is on the poon. A short time later and the fish is at the transom and the poon is implanted, straight gaff to the head and tail rope is on. 72"
We spend the next few hours working the area with no love. A short stop on the way home and we have a couple swings and misses on the bars but no hookups. Can't complain 2 fish in 2 days and it's MAY!!! Thanks again to skippa Dom for the call.
