Gotcha Covered 4/29

gotchacovered · April 29, 2009, 9:37pm

We made our first trip of the year/season today and spent the day near the 226 and the EB. We ended up with 24 dolphin and a smallish wahoo today. The ocean was beautiful. We were able to run 60 MPH out at the 226. We didn’t limit out like the Agressor (great job, BTW, Michael), but it was certainly a fun first trip of the season/year. God is Good, and I thank Him for a beautiful day on the water with some friends, for a nice haul of fish, and for a safe return, among other things.

Ricky should be along shortly to post a photo blog. He was snapping pics all day.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
