Okay so Billy told me he started out this morning on the 500 line which is where he left the fish the last day he fished...this struck me as funny because thats a rarety anyway (you know tide and wind and the fish were movi9ng blah blah blah he never goes back to exactly the same place) and the last day he fished was Monday before the blow. Well I suppose he figured that was as good a place as any because the boys that fished yesterday didn't make out so good.
So Dick Martin and his crew braved the rough and set out about the 480 - the hot water crossed on the 430 and Maxwell headed for 300 fathoms and fished south to the 430...it was a slow but steady pick - a blackfin, 2 yellowfin, a small wahoo. then 1 for 2 on fat gaffers. They fished up to the 510 and picked off another ywllofin on the way and a 4-banger when they got there. In the end it was a nice day - 5 single bites on yellowfin with 3 in the 50 to 55 pound class and another 2 on the 22 pound class. The 4 way were 30 pounders and then those 'exotics" on top! Tight Lines!!!
