Quick OC report 7/31

[Hroonk]

Made up a crew and pointed the My Turn toward the Washington this past Sat. Got a fairly early start and had flat seas, so we had lines in the water a little before 7 am just north of the Washington.

Around 0730 we raised a white behind a pink/crystal sea witch. he hung around for a while, but we couldn't seem to get a hook in him. He finally picked up the witch, jumped and spit the hook. Dang

About an hour later, we had a tuna air out behind an ilander sailure. He ate everything but the hook. Double dang

We finally hooked a fish around 0900 - a dolphin which we quickly lost while passing the rod to the angler. Triple Dang.

Around 1130 the long rigger pops and we have a solidly hooked, running fish. My buddy's wife fights it to boat side. Just as I'm getting ready to stick a 50 plus pound wahoo, he gives us a few head shakes and cuts the line......DAMN!

At some point around 1230, the naked flat starts screaming......it was a peanut that popped the clip on a bait set for whites with no drag............slung him in the boat and finally got some meat!

Around 1400 we found a nice rip around 60 fathoms and worked it for about an hour with no love.

That was it for the rest of the day....nice day on the water .......120 lbs of ice does a good job keeping one peanut chilled!

Larry that was some butt ugly water out there Sat. We ran to the Washington and as we approached the fleet we couldn't see anything worth stopping on so we headed E to the 500 lump. Not much better out there. We ended up runnning back in to 80f around the 890 lne and fished the balls. Went 0 for 3 on whites (only 1 actually ate) and got 3 dolphin. The water was green as the bay.

Yea bert....it was fairly ucky.....We stayed pretty much in the 800 square all day. We passed some decent life on the way out...whales, a few birds and some flying fish.....I think we were lucky to get the action we did.

What's your boat name?
