Well, I was humbled yesterday and made to realize why I can not compete with the big boys(other than the small boat issue).
I apologize, Jazzed and Long Enuff, for putting you on dead water instead of putting you on the action. I guess it is just fishing, but I almost feel embarrassed.[:I]
We ended up bringing home only 5 fish total. 4 decent phins and one small, great tasting cuda.[:0] We lost a couple of nice fish and had a sail knock around a few baits, but couldn’t get him to eat the hook. It was a great day on the water with great friends anyway:slightly_smiling_face:, but the catching could have been better! Until next time…
At least, we didn’t get skunked…

That’s right Lynn, you brought fish home, got to enjoy all of God’s glory out there on that beautiful day and you did it with great friends, both in your boat and others out of sight but on the radio. Sounds like a good day to me. Looking forward to getting back out there again with ya.
Yeah, it was good to hear y’all hooked up and having a great time!!
We’ll get back out there again, hopefully soon!!

DUDE it was awesome. Aint nothing like drivin a boat 20mph in that pitch black with both your buddies asleep on the bean bags either side of you lookin at a little screen and compass quarter moon shinin stars looking fabulous on a basically flatish night 50 miles offshore ; ) Sorry I sucumbed to the weeds on the nice phin and lost a nice lure. Heck Im still grinnin from drivin the boat on the 45lbs you caught:smiley:. The fishing was great it was the catching that wasnt so good… But we did fair comparitavily. I was shocked when you mentioned that it was our first trip as a trio as many times as we have fished all kinds of ways and places. Only m fifth trip trolling. Yall are great fishing buddies and the fishing and fellowship are always awesome. It was also great to hear internet celebrity voices like haz, skinnyj, and sirecks on the mic ; ) Heres a sunrise for those still reading. Thanks again buddy ; )
Yeah, it was hard to believe that it was the first time the three of us had been trolling offshore together! It was also the first time this year that a couple of flyers flew in the boat on the way out.
I need to get back out there soon and redeem myself!

Lynn, I know you feel like you let your friends down because of the low fish count, but how many times has that happened, very few, I would think. I would’ve liked to have been out there as well, but I have another trip to do this weekend, but hope to get out there at least one more time out deep with you. Everyone likes to catch fish, but not all can experience a trip out deep with friends and watch the that sun rise, truely a blessing indeed! Catch up next time, David.
My freezer has plenty of fish variety and quantity from our various trips. Not to mention the many smiling faces of family and neighbors that have been graced with some of the bounty from Miss Amanda. It is all good!
That’s awesome, Guys! Glad you all had such good times. Hope for the same for me this weekend as my Daddy is coming to go offshore with us - it’l be a first for him!
Don’t worry buddy
Sometimes your the bait and sometimes the hook.
You didn’t get skunked and looks like you guys had a great day which is what its really all about anyway. love the sun rise… can’t get enough of that. I know i had a great day when i see it coming up on the way out and going down on the way in. Never matters whats in the fish box. next time they’ll be jumpn in the boat just the way it works. I could go on and on about the the less than stellar days or the week i spent in NC with my boat on the trailer due to bad weather. Besides you can go three times for the price its costs most of us to go once hehehe. So price per pound of fish is in your favor. Besides i know your freezer is full

Lynn…there are big fancy boats with lots of fancy eguipment going out there and not catching what you did. What is important is that you went and had a great time with good friends and came home safe. . Nothing to apologize or feel bad about at all…on top of that you are a really nice person and dont have “attitude”…look at it this way too…you caught more than us guys , and girls on the hill…Haz said he saw you out there…now I really wish Id taken haz up on our invite to go…would have been nice seeing you again…
I was hoping to get out this weekend, but my motor is making a noise, and the Yammy rep wants to look at it before I run it again. With just under 1800 hours on it and no warranty, if he wants to take care of it (hopefully), I guess I better listen to him…

No apology needed!!! You did better than most 6 figure boats that day! Ive seen people troll 10 hours and come home with much less.
How true…in 2006 I fished out of Oregon Inlet with my boss, our CEO and my two counterparts from TX and MS. I directed them to websites showing pictures of all the dolphin and YFT they had been catching the previous weeks. However, on our trip we caught two slingers the whole day. $1,800 for the charter & tips. I should have put the filets in the in-room safe instead of the refrigerator:smiley:.

Mexico $1000 and a bonita
puerto viarta $1400 1 barracuda
And my aformentioned trip to NC Oregon inlet last year bad weather
