THE REALITY OF IT IS: ONE MUST REALLY LOVE IT TO GO OFFSHORE DAY AFTER DAY....POUND WAVE AFTER WAVE....TOTAL DARKNESSS......BURN THE FUEL.....SADDLE UP MANY HORSES ...RETURN TO BASE CAMP....REFUEL...SPITSHINE THE "RUN-OFF".....GO HOME EMPTY HANDED AND THEN TRY TO SMILE AND DO THE "HONEY-DO" LIST...ONLY GET UP 3AM AND GO DO IT AGAIN!
WELL...........................I GUESS I LOVE IT....NO DOUBT BRIAN DOES
WE JUST FISHED THE LAST TWO DAYS BACK TO BACK.....24 OUT OF 38 BFT LONG COMMERCIAL DAYS AS A MATTER OF FACT..........I WONDERED IF MY HALF CENTURY BODY WOULD CONTINUE THIS PACE......WE WERE ON OUR WAY TOWARDS THE INLET WITH ZERO TUNA BITES YESTERDAY ...WHEN THE BEAST CALLED ME TO THE BRIDGE.....
HMMMM..WHAT'S THIS GOING TO BE ABOUT ? WAS I BEING FIRED? WAS I GOING TO BE SCOLDED...REPREMANDED? ...CORRECTED FOR SOME COCKPIT MISTAKE?
I SAT DOWN AND HE COCKED A BIG OL CAPT B SMILE.....AND SAID....."GIVE ME THREE OR FOUR MORE DAYS....I NEED YA TO HOLD ON FOR JUST A FEW MORE DAYS... THINGS WILL GET BETTER.....THE BAIT WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY HE SAYS.....WHOO-WEEEE.........I STILL HAVE A JOB!
HELL I NEVER DOUBT HIS DESIRE NOR HIS TALENTS.....I SHOW UP AND DO AS A PIT MONKEY DO....NEVER GIVE UP...KEEP THE FAITH ...AND SEND ONE UP TO DA MAN DAILY .....
WE HAD LOST TWO BFT ON SATURDAY, ONE FIRST THING IN THE AM AND ONE AROUND TWO O'CLOCK.....ONE I KNOW FOR A FACT WAS EL SLOB-O HIMSELF...HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? ONE SIMPLY PULLED THE HOOK....THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEN SET FREE ....ONLY TO SWIM AWAY LAUGHING AT THE BOX!!! ...ONE TUNER MET FREEDOM WITH A PRICE : A FULL SKIEN OF FLUORO ,LURE , AND HOOK
KEEP THE FAITH...KEEP THE CHIN UP
REBOUND WILL COME SHORTLY
I CAN STILL SMILE THOUGH...MY FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL TODAY .(BAYWOLF ,SHANE, & CHUCK) MY BELIEF IS : IT'S THE BALANCE OF NATURE THAT BRINGS ON SITUATIONS LIKE THIS...WE CATCH A FEW AND THEN GO COLD....THEN "SECOND TO NONE" GETS HOT AS A FIRECRACKER"....AND WHILE WE ARE FREZING COLD....IT'S YOUR TURN ...OUR TURN....SHE LOVES ME ....SHE LOVES ME KNOT.....MAYBE TOMORROW SHE WILL LOVE ME
THIS BREED OF FISH THAT THE FLEET HAS SO FEVERISHLY BEEN CHASING ARE THE SCOUTS....THE ADVANCE PATROL.......EVERYTHING IN NATURE IS BEHIND SCHEDULE....WE EVEN HAD A LATE DEER RUT IN CAROLINA....I HEAR DUCK OUTFITTERS IN ARKANSAS ARE RE-SCHEDULING THEIR "CHARTERS" FOR THE WARM WEATHER HAS SLOWED THE FEATHERPLUCKING.....STRIPER FISHING ARRIVED LATE TO NC.....AND SO ON
YEP....I BELIEVE THE KILLING IS NEAR...I SMELL IT! .......THAT'S RIGHT! SUCK IT IN...BREATHE IN HARD PEOPLE!! DO YA SMELL IT? YEAH...YOU SMELL IT ALRIGHT! THE OILS...THE SHAD....THE GANNET SHIT...THE PASTRAMI SANDWICH BEING NUKED IN THE GALLEY MICRO'....TUNA SPLATTER ON YOUR THERMZ THAT MAY NEVER LEAVE! YEAH YOU SMELL IT!! ....I'M READY ....THE BEAST IS READY....I HOPE TOKYO IS READY AND HUNGRY....CAUSE I AIN'T DONE YET.... AND WE DANG SURE KNOW THE "BEAST " IS NEVER DONE- ALWAYS READY !!!
Like you told me when we went six straight without a sniff, they will come. I have no doubt they will come fast and furious for you guys. Lets go get em tomorrow and bring them to market. Good luck guys. Talk about selfless acts and class act. We broke one of our 130 rods and Marty is lending us one till we get a replacement and Brian offered to help us rerig our gear to be ready for tuesday. My hat is off to these 2 guys. People helping people, OOOH RAAH!!
