Pulled out of Rudee a little later than expected at about 5:50am and headed towards the fingers. Wondered if we should head south to the cigar so we flipped a coin- Fingers won- arrived to alot of shaggy grass pods and started putting lines out- Got 2 out before the long riggerrigger popped the clip and started singing- did not know what we had until we got it to the boat- Nice wahoo on pink & white illander with meat- Continued east in water from 78-80 deg with no other signs of life- only a few other boats in the area and talk on the radio was slow everywhere- trolled the 30fathom line south for what seemed an eternity with no action at all- pointed the boat towards the weather buoy and went back in shallow and not much longer we had Mr Whitey on the right flat and Jimmy let him eat and executed an awesome hookup and we got him to the boat for a release- Half hour later had another one come in on short rigger and put on a good display all the way to the boat for another release- laid at the dock today to getsome rest and planning on heading back out tomorrow- It rained all night almost 2-3 inches but we look forward to the weather letting us get out a few more times

2 for 2 release white Marlin
1 52lb wahoo

Bill- Your accomodations in your slip are great- All the dock lines fit fine so no adjusting needed- Slept in today and heading back out tomorrow- Have room if you want to go- Thanks again for the use of your slip- Hope you get yours back in the water soon- Let me know if you need me out any sooner

p.s How about a Monday night drink- Let me know
