We had the rubber hooks today. We only caught 7 dolphin (kept 5), 2 king mackeral. I know at least 10-12 more fish spit the hook on us. We even had a 25lb dolhpin hooked in the dorsal all the way up to the boat before it ripped out. Had another dolphin foul hooked in his side. Also had a sail take a couple of swats at our teaser. Broke the leader on a 20lb wahoo right behind the boat. Then we headed in to grab some bugs. Ended the day catching 6 spiney lobster, but had to release 3 that had eggs. Also bagged 3 slipper lobster. I missed a daymaker hogfish, but deanboy killed another and he got a nice red grouper. Greg, I am going to kick your ass next time I see a DIN valve on my boat. None of our wrenches fit it and I had to take an aluminum 80 down to 100 feet. The fiance also did her first 100+ dive in 103’.
How’d your dive in 85’ turn out? We passed by you on the way in but couldnt get you on the radio

Yeah, I think I bumped the radio with my knee and we were on 61 or something. The shallower dive was awesome. Visibility was a good 40-50 feet today.
I forgot to mention, it did turn out to be an expensive day for deanboy. Not only did he flood his digital camera casing, but he also lost his spear gun (floated to top). Ouch and ouch…
Maybe if you’re a good little boy Santa will bring you an Alan Wrench for Christmas.
That sucks for Deanboy. What number camera is that he’s flooded, like 2 or 3?
Good job on getting the fiance in the water again. Can’t wait until she’s ready to shoot stuff.
So Srgt. Skinnee was there much yelling and screaming on this trip or did you take it easy on them?
