The crew consisted on Captian John, myself, Joe, Clint, Rob and Jay.
We left around noon on Thursday and stopped at the race for some live bluefish.
It was pooring rain with the forcast threatening rough and raining conditions for days to come!
Lady Irene II
This boat was just amazing- this was my sleeping quarters!
Day 1
The first day was rough conditions, seas were recorded at 6.2ft and 7 seconds apart.
The seas were so rough we had to slow to 11 knots just to get out to the fishing grounds!
We set up in foggy, sporty conditions at the outter butterfish hole.
We managed 34 bluesharks - it was like I have never seen before with non-stop shark action.
Day 2
For the second day start there was a very nice triple engine edgewater that snuck by us as we idled out to the break wall.
The edge water got to throttle up before we did -
It was the one boat in the close pack taking off that the Lady Irene did not completly smoke right off of the line - but John was able to catch up to the triple engine boat before hitting a wall of fog and having to throttle back -
The conditions were much more enjoyable with flat seas.
A little fog was close to shore, but once we made it 25 miles out the sun came right out.
We fished 50 miles south of the point.
The kite rode was used for the first time!
Our eighth fish of the day was big blue shark that measured 8'3".
These are a money fish if they weigh 25olbs so we took the fish and headed into the scales.
This fish missed the money by 22lbs -
It was truely a great three days of fishing with the guys!
Thanks again for inviting me along!
