We left thursday to OakBluffs in the Vineyard with Brian, Jay, John, Rob and myself on board.
Nice flat seas out made for a fun trip with much anticipation of the upcoming tourny!
This is the entrance to the harbor!
This is the boat we fished the two day tournment on!
The wifes and kids took the high speed ferry over and were waiting for our arrival!
Day 1
Woke up at 3am and meet the guys at the boat - off we went south west of the island.
Set up shop in some really nice looking water.
There is not much to say - the deep bait went off at 8am - this was on a 80W reel with 130 lb test - I some how got stuck with the rod and for the next 7 1/2 hours played tug of way with an enourmous shark - this fish drug us 13.6 miles!!!! Our only conclusion is that it was either a great white, hammer head, or a large tiger shark.
Day 2
Boy was it a rough day!
The boat was really rocking and there was a small craft advisory for the area.
At about 10:30 a 70" mako took the bluefish rack and we decided to take him for the dinner table.
He was not a weighable fish since he didnt meet the 200lb minimum weight, but he was still good eating!
What a fun long weekend! Cant wait to do it again!
