Three swords, 12 yellowfins, limit of sows, limit of stud aj's, gags and scamps...

and 4 BEARDED BROTULLA

We headed out at midnight thursday to green canyon where Alex's drillship is and we were done on yft's QUICK

The ice maker was fighting a loosing battle so we stopped live baiting at ten and put out the marlin spread in 6000' of dirty ass lake water...We picked up two more yft's on the troll and picked them up at 5:30pm and headed back 80 something miles to my sword numbers. First fish 5 minutes into first drift and 3 drifts later we had a limit and were headed back to the dock. It was these guys first time to fish swords and they are hooked.

Yesterday we went for a nice leisurely bottom trip and limited on sows 20lbs and up to one that pushed thirty. We also smacked out a limit of stud aj's and abunch of other stuff. It was a fun weekend and I look forward to next weekend at the Faux Pas tourney and hopefully winning some change

Nice fish Mike. I notice someone has found the latest in band aid technology with that nice eletrical tape bandage. I guess no first aid kit would be complete without eletrical tape band aids.

We can go demonstrate that you need not waste time with bait for AJ's.
