Seen some ausome stuff out there from giant whale sharks to tiny birds, sunrise to sunset views in every direction. The coat has gotten a little high. I want to say my first trip cost $150. Bacardi runs was 125 or so! Boy times have changed. I have slowed Down a little bit still enjoy that 4-6 hour ride out and boy I never sleep so good.

Lydia construction and an ass kicking let me take a shot at this (SEA DEVIL)!!!!!

Yea BC, been there, done that too...sometimes you're the bug, sometimes the windshield, thankfully it's the windshield WAY more...Actually just got back from a Gambler 36hr trip...I'll be reporting on this trip directly...
Oasis...caught my first yellow & bird on the gambler...had some "bug" trips, but many more of the other...How much do you spend on a family vaca? One guy told me tonight that the 3 grand I spend on tuna per year was too much. I asked how much he spends on family vaca---10/12 grand...and I spend too much? Some days they go to the beach, others to the arcade, movies or just stare out the window at the rain...Know someone who took vaca in OBX-they were evacuated after 2 days for a hurricane...It's a crap shoot, yes, but at least you have an excellent chance of a lot of great eating tuna steaks for you, family and friends...just sayin'.....
And you got a chance to see what motha' nature can be like when she's the "nasty lady" waiting for you outside the inlet...

Fishing is supposed to be fun. If you're not having fun, why do it? Plenty of other fish to go after.
