OI Report SAT 6-4

[HIT N RUN]

Boat: Reel Fancy
Crew: Steve,John,Joel,Rich,Howard,Beck & me.

Pretty much the same area as last week. 650-730 60-300fat. Minimum current with the change starting @ the 700 & up. going from 75.5- 68 @ the north end. There is still a ton of fish but with such a strong feed the day before + a full moon & heavy boat pressure with the Tournament/weekend combined, the bite was a bit slow for many of the boats.

Best bite was before the boats got thick. We started fishing on the 685 @ about 6:30 am & had pretty steady action till 8:00. Then I think it was maybe 1 more double & a scattered Dolphin here & there. Then around 3:30 we managed a couple more + lost 1 & a tail off some pups right @ the end when pulling lines @ 4:00 in (50 fat). This Hammerhead was a beast & wasn't just happy with the tail from the first Tuna. He was lit up like a Blue one who just had a teaser snatched from him with nowhere else to go. That was untill he sensed the other Tuna still hooked down below. Well you know how that played out.

Anyways, another great day @ OI. We had a crew of new faces with most having never caught a Tuna before. Well they got to see what all the fuss is about. Congrats guys on your catch. Hope the friends that you choose to share your pile of Tuna steaks with appreciate all the hard cranking you put in to bring them home to the table.

It was great meeting you guys.



final: 9 Tuna & 3 Gaffers with about 5 more Tuna not making it to gaff.

Pics will be added once received from the crew by e-mail tomorrow.

Bill - you will know exactly what I am talking about here. Howard is the absolute man. Does he EVER stop cleaning a boat!

[HIT N RUN]

Yep Bill, Howard is something else for sure. He allways gets the call.

[FINRAZOR RODS]

Hey Bill, I think you and me got dumped by Howard!! I want my HO back and I know you want some of that action too!!!!! Best Damn HO in the world. Look he's STILL cleaning the boat... and I bet he ran the pit too...

[Squidnation]

I had to hire four mexicans after Howard Left me. Juan, Tu, Jose A and Jose B

[FINRAZOR RODS]

AND I bet they couldn't clean the boat half as good as Howard...

Hey Howard, did you clean the fish too??

[Squidnation]

Seriously Howard is a huge asset on any boat. He arrives with an impeccable tackle box, works his ass off all day and is a lot of fun as well. Just don't get him near the bottle of tequila

[hunt4fish]

Pretty work fellas,nice mess of fish.

[Streamweaver]

Did someone say tequila Thanks again Bill for the trip and kind words.

Mike and Bill thanks for the kind words and would enjoy to fish with you all anytime. Mike just no unplanned overnighters
