Default Re: offshore seabass

Was on the same trip, conditions were really nice. Unfortunately the biscuits did not dine at their typical torrid pace. The Cap'n scrambled to try to find the fish but it seemed like the things that were most hungry were silver eels and doggies.

The mates worked their butts off, unhooking all the junk and unscrambling LOTS of tangles. It amazes me that some people think they'll be able to magically hold with eight ounces when most everyone else on the boat is using sixteen lol.

Was interesting to be greeted by so many COs at the dock upon our return. Even more interesting was the scramble by a couple of guys to surreptitiously slip a few shorts out of their coolers and overboard without being seen by the COs. Real class acts

All in all a really fun day, though a reminder that one should really cherish the days when limits are reached by 10 am and not take them for granted. Gonna miss these trips in January.
