I have been watching for a weather window and had a crew lined up to head out on my boat.
Dave from my new marina keeps his boat a few slips down and wanted to go out, and offered to take us in his 33 Grady Express.
It was a no brainer so my nephew Pat, buddy Duane, and John (toprod) were ready and geared up to go!
A last minute drop out (litterly hours before we were going to leave) opened up a spot for Todd (HookemHemm).
We loaded up the Grady at 2pm Friday, gased up and pointed south.Hit some pots on the way with no luck.
Put the spread out for the evening troll and watched the sun go down.
No luck on the evening troll so we set up to sword and shark east of the Dip.We had squid and other life around the boat all night, but the only fish on was a sluggish blue shark.
Morning troll we decided to move to a different area a few miles away.
It wasnt long until we saw life again and bait fish jumping so we put the spread in.
At 7am we had a double knock down leading to two nice fish in the boat!
This is Todd and John with the first two fish!Notice Todd's smile with his first tuna ever!!!!
We put the spread back out and it wasnt long until another knock down, tapping the gas a few times turned it from one to three rods screaming.Some great work by the crew and these three made for five in the box!
We had fish chasing bait out of the water as we were gaffing these fish!
Trolled to the west side of the tails and managed two yellows, one of these was a really really nice fish that Pat got to catch.
I didnt snap a picture but I hope someone else did.
We managed ten mahi off of pots while we were out there!
It was a great trip and that 33 Express is one comfortable ride!
