Here We Go got her first offshore SKUNK today!
Thanks to Chad, Steve and my son Jason for enduring a non eventful day. It was good networking with Reel Nice, Fins, C-Note, Fish Tales and Roll Tide.
We fished the 850/200 area all day and it had the most beautiful sargasm islands as you would ever want to see!
We worked them over hard, went deep then came back in and the radio had various reports of whites being caught. We had two knockdowns all day and both were on the shot gun, one on a pink bird chain the other on an express. Both leaders were chaffed from a bill.
We ran a 10 line spread with teasers all day, Chad worked his azz off and had it looking good:thumbup:
The most amazing thing was right at the end a few tunas started airing out in front of the boat as we came port side I watched one come 4' out of the water and nail a flier. We drug the short and long over them with in seconds of the event and then pounded the area>>>NADA!
It just wasn't our day the spead was perfect all day with dinks on the flats, shower chains behind with medium hoos, sailures on both the short and long riggers w/ medium and select hoos. and the shot gun bird chain to start express later in the day.
I would have never believed w/ what we were working we'd come up empty handed.
