fishing reports

Bill any updates on your progress?

Sorry just saw this. Finally got back in the water last week. Then the wind blew hard for a week.

Here is my current view. Headed east. No tuna reported out there but there are supposed to be Mahi and the tiles are always there. Should be some marlin around also. I don’t care what’s out there. After a month of wishing I just want to be on the water.

Well the first trip after the generator repair led to a bit of a pucker moment.

I took over driving and my son was down in the galley. We were 50 miles from shore. He poked his head up and said the generator must have stalled there is nothing on the volt gauge. I opened the hatch and it was on fire.

GOD must have been with us because it was just starting with small flames. Grabbed the fire extinguisher from under the seat and put it out as my son hit the kill switch. It must not have been too hot because the engine room has an automatic fire boy that hadn’t gone off.

After we accessed the situation we decided it was safe to not use the generator and spend a few hours fishing. The overnighter got cancelled but we fished for a few hours.

I’m not pulling the boat. Going to finish the summer with no AC and no 120 service. Can’t do over nights but hopefully we get some fishing in. I’ll figure out the elephant down below over the winter.

Here is what a gazzilion dollars of Mahi looks like.



Wife says it hasn’t sunk in yet because I’m ready to go fishing again. She’s wrong. I’m ready to go fishing again…

Lol! I only laugh because it seems you are un good humor. Sorry about your luck though. Hope you can get it fixed soon and cheaply!

Laugh or cry. I like to smile. It will work out one way or another.

But I did use a few choice words in the moment. :)

NC was nothing but nasty NE winds. Half day charter no1 was trolling for hours to have a 30 min flurry of spanish mackerel action then die again. Ceviche and blackened tacos were amazing.

Charter2 was cancelled three times but pulled it off. Was supposed to be near shore but the wife and daughter flaked knowing the waves wouldnt be fun. They werent. We went out a ways and did some reef fishing. Non stop seabass, a few flounder, a cobia, and a pile of trash fish. It was a riot. Honey soy pan seared seabass and then did a garlic butter pan fry with them. Amazing

Despite having fished my 48 years n all sorts of water.....i think i am starting to get sea sick. The last 3 trips have had me feel off to the point of taking Dramamine. That stuff knock me flat azz down too......like sleep for days.
