I believe the weatherman was a little off again. Left Murrells at 4:15 to meet angry mother ocean. We contemplated turning back but once we throttled back and tabbed out the ride improved from miserable to tolerable. We waited and dropped lines in about 200’ just a hair North of GTH at 7:00 with only a 2 or 3 boats in sight.
Once the spread is out we have our first phin on within minutes just to lose it after a few seconds. Get another bite seconds later, large phin and 30 mins later we lose it in the props! It was my buddy’s first fish offshore so I knew something had to change. Reset the spread and went back at it again. Finally hook a BFT and put in the box to get the skunk off the boat. The action was pretty steady all day, boxed 7 phins( 2 peanuts), 3 BFTs and some bsb. I know we missed at least 8 fish that were knockdowns/ f ups(2 put of 4 of us were newbies).
Tried to hit some good numbers on the way in but made the ride terrible so we hit greenville reef. Spades were thick and played with a 50+ cobia that wouldn’t take the bucktail. Cruise in 35 knots and dry! All in all a pretty good day.
