On a charter last week one of the clients was a chain smoker..... the mix of salt air and smoke brought back the memories.....

JT, great report, loved it. If I can quit smooking, you can too. It ain't all that to do it, and it is a damn site cheeper... Oh ya, the dust is shook off the feathers and the nearshore Sails are in trouble...

Good to see you pulling on some fish amigo, looks like a great time

Apparently you are too old for beer bongs Matt but that won't stop us from testing the waters again.

The beer bong or beer in general wasn't the problem.......hung over as shit after all the cocktails later that night......felt like death all day then decided to let the demons out so I would feel better......immediately thereafter, I felt like a champ.

On most trips, 15+ beers is the norm....beer bongs, shot-guns, heavy hand, etc. etc.......hahahaha

Love it.

Nice score boys,looks like fun to me.Here is what the fourth wheel was doing while you were gone.After he called in drunk on sunday I gave him a second chance,again.That guy gets more second chances then anyone I know.

Have you seen any cow shit in the pasture yet.

I fished with Dave Choate (Wahoodad) and Bogie out at the islands today.When fishing is this hot you have to get it when the getting is good.There were alot of fish in the area but it was a tricky bite,the fish would peck at the bait so you had to get lucky when you swang on em.Also the current was running at 6+knots so the drift was quick,then we had to run back up a few hundred yards to get reset.The track lines on my plotter looked like a 3year olds coloring book.We scored some nicer Seabass and watched Bogie do battle with a Giant for an hour or so.He had never caught one before so he was surprised at how hard they pull.I kept telling him it was good practice for the cows down south.He got the fish up on a calico bass rod and after a couple pics the fish pointed his head down and made a few big tail kicks on his way back down to the bottom.We had a bunch of laughs and some nice fish to go along with it.Always a treat to fish with these guys.It's tuna time.Gernsey

Cracking me up bro!

That is an awesome haul of seabass!!! Bogii must be in traction after that battle with the giant. Goddamn nice work Gernsey!!!!

Great report and photos brought back when I was there back in May/June. Didn't get to fish but saw a few nice catches. Did the camp out thing at Tifino beach and saw the eagles everywhere. By the way the otter sea planes have turbo jet engines in them the beaver sea planes have the radial piston engines. My son in law works for Viking aircraft at Sydney on Vancover Island. That is where they are made now.
Quit smoking almost 4 years ago after 34 years of smoking. It was tough but well worth the effort. Good luck, wish you the best and it does not effect your ablity to fish at all.
I hope to try the fishing thing next year when I go up. Sounds like you had a real good guide. I might have to try them out when I go. Thanks again for the post and info.
