Went over to the dark side for opening day. It's was a tough day to be on the water with a steady 20 knots and gusts up to 30. We managed three fish that all went between 37-39". Had a planner board come loose which made for an interesting "fire drill". Just imagine 30 knots, 11 lines in the water, one working engine, 10 guys that only fish one day a year who had consumed one too many beverages and me wondering what looks wrong with the lines blowing in the wind. If you can believe it, we didn't get any tangles and even circled back to pick up the board. Still can't figure out what happened because the line didn't break (800lb Mono), it just came unclipped. Can't wait to put the broom sticks away!!!
As usual, Joe's handmade rigs were what the fish jumped on. Joe, it is time for you to retire from the pharma business and start your own charter service.
