Meet Greg, Ernie and Todd at Crockers to head out for an overnighter on Greg's 25' Parker.
I have been fishing offshore with Greg for a few years now, and this is my 3rd or 4th offshore trip with Todd - but Ernie was new - and I am always cautious with a new crew member - but he jumped right in before we even cleared the tressel to help out with getting things ready!(Ernie you are welcome on my boat anytime!)
The seas were alittle sloppy, but not really a big deal.
We decided to put lines in 4 miles north of the tails - this proved to be a good desicion since we had our first knock down pretty quickly.
None of the fish seamed to be schooled - I dont think we had one double knock down!
With the sun setting, and one mahi and one albacore in the box I was personaly satisified with the trip.
I wasnt expecting much from the over nighter, and was hoping for a sword or shark - but I will take a nice fat albie! This guy took a sardine 75 feet down -
We did have a nice run off on the sword rod - nearly got spooled and then the line broke.One note - boy was it cold out there!
I dont ever remember being so cold on an overnighter - Oh well
I was really happy with the outcome! Went home with more than enough tuna!
I ate about a pound of sushi with my buddy - then out to dinner.
When my head finally hit the pillow at 9pm I slept a solid 12 hours!
A really fun time with Todd, Ernie and Greg!
