We left the dock at 3:30 in the anticipation of a hot sunrise at the 226. Shortly after clearing the jetties in the dark I realized the trim tabs had called in a sick day and were filly retracted so we headed to the outcrop instead but still made good time. Lines in at first light and queue the barracuda. One after another until we pushed out to 250’ then we found one tiny spot that produced a few fish on each pass until the bite turned off around 10am. It never turned back on again and all we found were scattered weeds and 77deg water everywhere with no break. Still a nice day on the water and good times were had. We stopped to stress test our spinning gear on the commanche on the way in. Got a few good jigskinz pictures. Thomas obviously had a good time as well.

can you swim 5 miles? “NO” then what is the difference in 5 miles and 50 miles!!! Go for it!
Good times 
Glad you all got together, that looks like a great crew right there!

Thanks for the invite Jordan. You’re a killer host and captain.
Rather cool crew we had, good times.
Til’ next time
I forgot to mention but thanks for all the food. 3 out of 4 people on the boat (everyone but me) brought enough sandwiches and food each for a full crew. We ate very well. Pickled okra, home made jerky, lots of fruit, wraps, sandwiches, and even some chick fillets with pickles. Fish not biting? Eat a sammich… Still not biting? Eat some more

How many dolphin did you end up with?
Had 5 by 10am. Only put 2 more in after grinding until 1-ish. Fished Sunday on a friend’s boat with equally poor luck on the troll. Time to start diving again.

Are We There Yet?
The fishing was slow, but it wasn’t due to the effort. Thanks again and had a great, safe trip.
