Taste of Going Off

[Deep C]

Was supposed to blow but pretty nice early so we slid cross pocketto where we had our activity yesterday... Mid pocket we saw a slob mako cruising but couldn't get his attention. Got to our area...
"There he is! Blue one right rigger!" A typical pocket class blue was back there loading up. Suddenly another came out of nowhere piled on the left and missed the hook. Our attention turned toward working it when the other finally ate. Them two us none... We circled and nothing on the exact numbers but a 1/4 mile up the edge we had a single smoke us...
Another quarter mile there was a fourth. I got involved with this one cause I didn't want another miss. Well... I broke a cardinal rule and started dropping when I felt the tap but before it came off the clip. By the time I tried to come tight I had failed too.
Rattled we started getting clipped off by wahoos and picking cudas. Kind of asleep dealing with them we whiffed two sails. Finally had one stay stuck so it wasn't a total was. Mi C-Shell was in there with us and fared better. Stinging one of their blues and two of their sails...
Ok we sucked today but there will be more days.
The wind kicked up 35 or so and made our day a short one...

You can't expect to be in mid-season form right out the box Deep...at least you stood in the box and swung, meanwhile I'm stuck here reading about it. You'll get'em next time!

no kiddin'! I just wanna FISH!

Yeah I know... But you would think that ate least one of the blues would have hung itself. These critters are ok and we get to fly a flag but it aint the same.

Sorry brother...can't give you too much sympathy just cause Mr. Bluesuit didn't stay for dinner. At least he (actually they) made an appearance and you had a chance. Again, there’s a few of us living vicariously through your exploits/post and would trade a very valuable appendage just to trade places with you.

Try the rod holder with the drag locked up.

1/7 huh. Not surprised. Hey at least you were fishing right?

[Deep C]

Yep... i made classic mistake on my miss. Dropped back through clip instead of waiting for it to knock it down. So f*****g what. Whats your point ...
That was yesterday. Today in 25-30 knots was two sails and a blue with no misses. Again big friggin deal...
You nailed the important part. We're out play fishing and having fun. Got in early. Worked hard cleaning the boat then went for a walk through the heavy brush to a flat in the lee and had more fun screwin with small sharks, rays, snappers and a lone bonefish. More fun yet...
Tomorrow we'll be glued to pilings detailing boat. You know what? That's kind of fun too... Buff a little, eat some conch, enjoy the warm weather. Buff some more and eat more conch.
Boss doesn't get here for a few days so for now its killin time and enjoying life... Again. Whats your point?

Just working out the kinks before the boss shows up - Good plan. You were on the water - most of us were pushing a desk. You could whiff every one and still be way ahead of me at this point.
