The skinnee for 06-14-2008 (Father's Day Sail)

I know father’s day is tomorrow, but we celebrated today. Have been trying to get my old man on a sail for the past few father’s days. Today was the day. Ended up catching 2 skippies in the morning (that’s pro-term for skipjack tunas), 4 dolphin (3 of which were little), and went 1-4 on the sailfish. First one I hooked was a solid hookup and the line parted. I’m pretty sure that the spool was messed up from guys not level winding a couple of trips ago and chaffing up the line. Oh well, after the line broke the sail still thought he was fighting us and put on a good show anyway. Pops reeled in the only one we caught and it gave him a good fight off the long rigger. Saw a few more free jumpers and spooked 2 that were on the surface getting some sexy time on. Also lost a real nice dolphin earlier in the day that was hot on the teasers and finally got him hooked. He jumpe a couple of times and spit out the silverware. Oh well, did a couple dives on the way back in and got 5 grouper, 1 hogfish, and 14 slipper lobsters. Saw a ton of lionfish and a guitar fish.

Total for the day:

1 for 4 on the sail fish
4 dolphin (3 little ones)
2 skippies
2 gag grouper
3 scamp grouper
1 hogfish
14 slipper lobsters

That’s a nice haul there. Congratz on the sail for your pops.

Good job guys. It is great to finally be able to repay your father for all of the gifts he’s given you. Every time I see my dad asleep on the bean bags it makes me smile.

Sounds boring to me…

Jason,

Thanks for the ride. Nice to meet you all. Really fun day, learned some new things, great boat, and came home with fish too. Sweet!

Awesome seeing those 2 sunning Sails so close to the boat.

Let me know any weekend you’re a man short, if I’m not already booked, I’m there.

Thanks again,
