WELL I'LL START OFF BY TELLING YOU ABOUT MY TRIP ON WEDNESDAY, NOTHING, 1 MAHI , 1 LOST TUNA, ABOUT 200 GALLONS OF FUEL.
TROLLED BALLY W/ BLU-WHITE ISLANDERS. ENOUGH ABOUT THAT DAY, IT STUNK..

FRIDAY, TRIP STARTED OFF WITH ME ON THE PHONE WITH MARTY AND BOBBY PITCH BAIT ON THURSDAY, JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IF I DIGESTED THE RIGGING CLASS CORRECTLY, PICKED BOTH THERE BRAINS FOR A SHORT BIT AND HEADED OFF FRIDAY AM WITH A WHOLE NEW ANGLE ON THINGS.

LEFT CAPE MAY 4:30 AM HEADING ABOUT 40 OFF, FOUND GREAT MARKS AND 77 DEG WATER, LOTS OF BIRDS, NEW PLANS WERE , 4 TROLLING RODS, DIFFRENT SPREAD TODAY, AND OF COURSE THE "DFA" ROD. STARTED TROLLING WHEN THE LONG RIGGER STARTS SINGING, WE PUT A NEWBIE ON IT , I MEAN A YOUNG LADIE THAT NEVER REELED IN A FISH, HOWEVER THAT ONE DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG. MY CRIMP PULLED..OH BOY IM GONNA HEAR IT. MINUTES LATER THE DFA WAS COOKING, NOW THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD A NICE FISH ON THIS THING, WELL, WE LET THE SAME YOUNG LADIE ON IT, NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY DFA IS RIGGED LIKE THE BOXMANS, SO IN ABOUT 25 MINS WE SINK THE GAFF INTO A NICE 50"ER. NOT A BAD FIRST FISH. NEXT BITE 20 MINS LATER , YEP IT WAS DFA AGAIN, THIS TIME ANOTHER YOUNG LADIE ON THE ROD, HOWEVER THIS GIRL CAN FISH, SE BEAT UP ON THIS BFT IN ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES. ANOTHER NICE FISH 49"S. FINISH THE DAY WITH OUR SLOT FISH JUST MAKING IT AT 46 1/2 ". SEAS , CALM 77 DEGS. OH THE BEST PART, BACK AT THE DOCK BY 12:30 WITH A COLD ONE IN THE HAND. THEN THE CRAPOLA HAPPENS, TRY TO RE-FUEL FOR ANOTHER RUN AND WE START HEARING A TAPPING IN THE PORT MOTOR, YEP SOUNDS LIKE I NEED A NEW POWER HEAD. PICS TO FOLLOW. THANKS MARTY AND BOBBY
