Have been struggling with engine issues. Boat ran great until we got about 2 miles from the spot, then lost the starboard engine. Tried to salvage the day with a few fish. Was a bit windy in the morning and the long ride home at 9 knts really sucked. Not much to it… Managed 12 dolphin, 2 blackfins and had to wrap it up early to make the 6 hour trip back home.
Least you got some fish to make up for the engine trouble

at that speed your crew probably ran out of beer pretty quick. Glad you guys made it back safe with some fish at least.
Yup, that’s a long ride home. I did that once when I lost a coil at SW Banks. Since I started carrying a spare it has not been a problem. At least the weather was decent for you.

Thanks, you made me smile. Just sayin…
Pretty decent haul for a shortened trip. Good job, Jason, and glad y’all got back to the hill safely.
