Planned to fish with Remmer from the mexican gulf fishing co. on Fri & Sat, had to change it to sat/sun due to weather. then switched it to sun/mon, then to sun only as the weather kept changing. We were having the same weekend weather fastcompany998 just had the weekend befor. We had a handle of crown and three days of eats loaded up so we headed out on fri at 4am. hit the rain in sav and the snow in ala., ended up a 16 hr. ride. many calls later with alex it looked like we would be able to fish on sat/sun. Remmer got caught at the miami boat show and could not get back in time to fish sat because of the snow. he hooked us up with capt. trey on his 36’ yellowfin, nice ride with twin 350s. 6/8’ didn’t lay down till 9am at which time we headed out. capt & mate did a great job but the tunas just didn’t show. waterboy did catch his frist at 65lbs and he ate the heart! I caught a 20lb blackfin. the action was good all day on other fish, we must have caught 100 kings & sharks comming up the chum slick. Ride in at 55mph after dark was the coldest boat ride i have ever been on. Had a great dinner and hit the rack!
Rimmer took us out sun early on his 39seevee, trip 350s, awesome. frist stop, a bait ball of pogeys was on the surface with 100/150lb yellowfins crushing them. we were on top of them as they fed all around us. Remmer threw the cast net for live bait and almost snagged a 100+ yellowfin. took three of us to pull the loaded net aboard. we tried everything in the book and didn’get a bite. live pogys, cut pogys, cut bonetas, cut kings and artaficals. we even tried the kite, doubling up on kings and sharks several times. the dam kings were skying everywere and we hooked sharks by the doz. after a few mins the tunas were gone and we fed the kings & sharks for awhile. we hit a few oil rigs and caught a hoo, some groupers, jigged up a limit of ajs and lots of kings. capt Remmer was top shelf and he tried everything he could to hook us up,we will book him again. he fished till dark and we took another high speed run
