Amazing report, is that where that saying comes from, ("it dosn't get any better than that" !!!!!!

No problem Greg.

One of mine almost made market - but close only counts in hand grenades, so I've got a big bunch of steaks.

Taylor's Squidbars did their thing.

You guys were on the Labrador today right?, I think I saw you guys coming into Scituate when we were going out. Only made it halfway to the SWC to where we saw busting tuna on memorial day and trolled all the way back in. Today was just not the day to be in a 23 footer. Caught a bunch of mackerel and went over to 4th cliff to live line em to see if there were any stripers left but no luck except something that grabbed a mackeral that we put out on a balloon. It was something big and it was not budging but it kept trying to pull the balloon under. Spit the hook before it got to the boat, then about 2 minutes later we see 3 or 4 seals, so you do the math, lol, Peta would of had our asses.

P.S. I hate my luck with weather, yesterday at around 9 a.m. they called for 1 foot seas 5 knt winds, then around noon it was saying 3-4 foot seas 12 knt winds, so we decided to try it anyway....urrgghhhh

08:00 We arrive at SWC to find a pretty big fleet of boats.
08:01 I avoid the fleet
08:10 Trolling east of the fleet toward the east.
08:30 Still trolling but I see a couple of birds working to my port decide to do a U turn to the birds.

08:55 Tom Hooks up again (innuendos flow from my lips)
09:10 Tom tells me he is going Cod fishing they are all done with tuna, (more innuendos)
09:15 "Fish On" Drag boat racer is cranking like he is running a 1/4 mile.
09:30 We land a nice 46" small
09:31 Rigs back in ( the crew is like a well oiled machine with Kerry barking orders.)
10:15 Every Rig is getting whacked
10:16 "Fish On" but only one I thought we where going to at least triple.
10:16 The Sailor is on the rod and pulling line like its the spinnaker coming down.
