off shore mako.... learning lesson
We went fishing off shore yesterday on the Reel Hus 2. We went down to the Marine Electric and drifted north with the s - sw wind. We caught one shark, a dusky or black tip, let him go 4 - 5 ft...... Then the hook up of a Mako. The fish came to the boat quickly and then went toward the bow, then back then back to the bow...... under the front tow ring and snap....
We can catch 45 " rock fish no problem, but when the big fish come we sometimes have problems
Experience is a tough teacher sometimes you get the test first and the lesson later.... Our lesson
Lesson- have a fisherman hook up the belt
- have one man go to the wheel and start the motors
- have another guy reel in the lines.... and clear the deck
- have a leader guy
- then the reel guy becomes the guide for the captain
- keep the fish at the back of the boat, and don't bring the fish to the boat green.....
NEXT TIME>>>>>> we have the lesson now bring on the next test.... I think this applies for big tuna as well... blue marlin if we ever hook up.... I hope one day to be on the boat when we do.
