Lots of good calls made about this trip, starting with the invitation from Dales to join the crew and take a break from running my own boat, having a full can of sun screen, 6 pack of water( yes, hot as ball$), bringing the extra block of spearing ( they ate it like kids in a candy store ), my hoagies were made right this time ( Bwahahaha for those who follow my FB posts), the captains call to stick to his original game plan on where to fish, not bringing any beer and drinking Dales since he was not up to par ( six on me next trip pal), making extra round heads but not really busting too many off this trip. Had a great time on my first trip on Rock Bottom charters, starting out with another great sunrise to mark in the memories. Capt found fish quickly for us and made appropriate moves throughout the day to find more as bite died and conditions changed. Pulled quite a few fish all day with the many "just short" fish mixed in between the 23 keepers Joey posted here as well as the nice Sea Bass caught. Can't beat Joe up on the bottom fish Ron Jr. had as I didn't get a chance to see it while on a hook up also, all I know is it was "the shot heard round the world" so to speak as when we got to the docks Ron Jr's sister said " Yeah , I got a text about a big fish not getting netted"......Doooooh! Joe's head sank! I could only laugh hearing it...All is good Joe as we don't know if it would have beaten an 8+ lb fish which won the FSOS tourney or doubtfully given us 22lbs for combined weight which took first or even the 18+ that took 3rd in SWABC, another tourney we were in..All in all, another great day on the water doing what I/others love to do...chase for the fish....Thanks Captain and hope to see you out there from my boat and get back out with you again some time.
