Went yesterday with Charlie and Allison Nickels of Tidedown Sportfishing. It was a great day, on a nice boat. I have fished many, many years with folks of the local mosquito fleet, but the 44’ Ocean Yatch is a whole different level.The mate, Robert is knowledgeable and a very enthusiastic angler. This was my second trip with them,and both have been great.
We left Ripley Marina at 3:30 and returned at about 7:00pm. Caught a good mess of mahi and a couple of 'cuda… (and yes, I DID clean one and eat it…once you get the slimy things cleaned, the fish is great)
I didn’t really get any good pictures, but Allison is the photographer (now a contest-winning photographer with pictures from my previous trip), maybe she will post some.
Oh, and there is ALOT to be said for air-conditioned cabins in July!!
Thanks guys for a great day.
