Chunky Dunk, Pross, Judge, and I met Billy at 5am on the dock. The 33 Freeman was glowing in the darkness from the LEDs. Chunky, Pross, and the Judge had the typical OHHs and AHHs as they stepped on board. Lots of “this is really cool, oooh look at that.” After a few first trip of the season hiccups on our part we pushed off at 5:45.
We all stood at the helm and stared at the twin 12 inch NSEs as we ran out of the Jetties. Judge was first to retreat to the bean bag I followed about 3 mins later. Chunky, Pross, and Billy stayed at the helm. As soon as we cleared the jetties, Billy poured some more stream to the F350s and the rocket ship took off toward the fishing grounds.
Laying on 2 bean bags I quickly dosed off to the flat ride and the purr of the motors. What seemed like 25 minutes later. Chunky says 1 more mile!
We pulled the throttles back and started to deploy the spread. As I was letting the first rod out. BAM!! ZZZZZ!! Few minutes later we had a blackfin in the box. Then very shortly after BAM ZZZZZ!! The Judge is hooked up on a wahoo!
It really kicked into high gear at that point. The layout of Billy’s boat is perfect for center console trolling. We had tons of room to move around and LOTS of rod holders to clear lines and set the trap. The wahoo were thick, they were going through tackle faster than I could tie it. Thank goodness I had restocked on hooks, leader, and sea witches from Atlantic Game and tackle before we left. Jeremy shared some pro tips that helped along the way too.
The morning was SUPER hot. One after the other the wahoo came over the gunnel.
We had a coupled double, triple, and quadruple knockdowns. The wahoo won a few rounds and we got our wins too.

I couldn’t read and look at all the pictures fast enough, Scott! Geez, it almost felt like being there as I was reading along! GREAT JOB! You guys worked your butts off, but it looks like the efforts well paid off!
We’re headed out Sunday! I’m so excited about going that Jack is making me sleep in another room! I’m having fish catching dreams in my sleep, and I think I’m practicing my gaffing as well…
