Greg, Hope you and your family have a great time in Cabo. I will see you at the Seminar. We expect to hear some great fish stories and can't wait to see the video from Taylor & crew.
Looking back at the 2009 season got a good chuckle out of some of my older post's. Gave me some good past info to match up with weather and tides from last year.
Can't wait to start posting tuna reports for the 2010 season so I resurrected this thread to get ready for the big bite of 2010.
Just sprinkle a little paint around and get the boat in the water! Then get me a cup of coffee!

09:00 Bars Back in, same spread I explain to Corey do not get over excited if we hook up just stay calm like me.
09:15 BIG BOIL on dirty oil in the five hole.
09:16 I jump up like an excited Octopus in heat and start screaming obscenities at the fish who just missed the bar.
09:17 I am apologizing to the customer for bad language around children OOPS.
09:20 He's back on the dirty Oil a swing and a miss we tease the fish over and over. I finally let the rig back in free spool until it reaches the out back spread.

Nice job Greg. We went to trolling after we got a fish and had a fish come up in tight to the transom...just a boil no love. Congrats on breaking the ice for 2010!
