OC 6/21 Report on Blackjack

[snowranger]

After eyeing the warm water pushing in south of the Poormans, we made a late decision to fish the inshore lumps looking for a big bluefin for the Marlin Club Small Boat Tournament. Had my usual crew onboard and one first timer. Started a little south of Masseys at lines in and worked our way north. Picked up a small dolphin east of Masseys in about 25 fathoms. Worked our way up to the 'canyon' and boated a small bluefin just south of the tip. After playing in the zoo of boats for a while, we headed south with the intention of working the bones and on down the sausages. After a few cover ups from blue fish (they were everywhere!) and some throwback bluefin, we picked up and headed to just outside the hot dog in 35 fathoms. Found more blue fish and one gaffer dolphin (19.5 lbs). Never found the big bluefin but put some meat on the boat and had steady action all day.
No pictures of the catch this time...but below is what a Pirates ass looks like

Nice job Eric, my shark trip was a total bust. One of the most uneventful days I've ever had offshore. Oh well, I'll be back at it next weekend. Tried raising you on the vhf a few times but my unit is apparently having some issues.

PCP,
Thanks. That Pirate has. Great crew member. I should be out Saturday.
Lance,
Sorry to hear about your trip. I feel your pain on the radio. I was researching and looking for a new antenna nthis morning! We'll catch up one of these days!

Eric:

Nice work this weekend. Your strategy paid off getting you 2nd place for the dolphin. Gutsy calls win tournaments. Pretty work. See you this weekend.

[snowranger]

Thanks Curtis. Maybe one day my walls will rival the hardware on yours...


See you in a few days.
