Girls trip 8_17_08

[OCcaptain]

Took the girls out on the Hammer Time on Sunday. Owner Nick Bortle, his son Mark, Capt Mike Pfaeffle, His wife Suzy, his sister Margaret, me and my wife Sharon. We started at the Marine Electric where we bailed mahi a week ago and it was like the dead sea, nuthin was there. Decided to run out to 50 fathoms on the 000's and troll. We raised one white and watched the Osprey catch two. Decided to troll south toward the rockpile and found a dead sea turtle. There were more fish under it than I have seen in a long while. We stopped and started bailing, ended up with some up to 15 pounds, grand total of 41!

I couldn't figure out how to put text between the pictures! The first pic is me gaffing Margarets first fish. The 2nd is of a Mahi cutting throught the water behind the boat. The next one is Margaret holding her first Mahi. Then Suzy with her first ever Mahi. Sharon got tired of catching fish and let me catch a few, she put the gloves on and started wireing, I was impressed!!!

It was Suzie's and Margaret's first day fishing in the ocean and I think they are hooked

Now those are the gloves you don't mind seeing a woman put on. Great work!

There were a few real nice ones mixed in. The girls had a blast, destroyed a few nice shirts too When the bite slowed I got out a bucktail and got them excited again, then it was game on all over again.

I was glad Sharon decided to wire a few. I was getting tired Tried to get her to stick the gaffers but she was afraid to lose the gaff. Next time she will

Next time show her how those aftco's float by throwing it over! It'll give your capt practice on the MOB drills too! (At least that's what I told our guys when I did that on the Dog several weeks ago)

Nice pics, Al....looks like I won't be able to go again until Labor Day wknd.

The Aftco I dropped a few years ago sunk? Did I buy the cheap one?

Great shots al!

At first glance I would think that most would say it was a great trip. But upon further review of the game film I must point out some points that truly made this a girls trip
