I went on my first overnighter with 3 other misfits Saturday and Sunday.
Here's the cut/paste/edit version:
Left the dock around 2pm Sat and headed out to Masseys for the "late" bite which never happened.
Anyway... We were off to a Great start! Bluefish in the box for the Shark bait.
Hooked up on the Ham Bone for the night .... Thank God because we would have gotten pretty beaten and battered on the Drift. There were some SERIOUS rollers!
We have all of the Ingredients for a Perfect night.... I was awake until 3:30... We had TONS and TONS of Bait.... Squid ... Flying Fish... Needles .... You name it it was there! But, No Signs of Mr. Tuna. I brought a sushi kit on board, and Ryan was jiggin up squid left and right, so I made a calamari roll. Those guys liked it, I think squid is bait, but I tried one....blech.
We lost a small tuna at the boat (we should call it a Release!!!) around 1:30 am.
Trolled from 7:30 to 1 on sunday with no takers. Rough ride inshore on the way home....and
IRI was really sporty.
We'll get 'em next time.
