Three of us were on business in New Orleans and we made a one day trip to Venice Wednesday. We charted with Pocoloco, Jerry Allen but Lee Mclean was our captain.
Weather was great - maybe 1.5 waves
We made bait and headed out to Medusa. No luck with livies so we started chunking. On the first drift, Steve hooks into a good fish. About 45 minutes later, he had joined the "100" YFT club.
No other hits so we move to another rig about 5 miles away.

On the first drift James hooks up but we lose it. He quickly hooks up again and the fight is on. 40 minutes later, he also joins the "100" club.
No more hits the rest of the day but another boat nearby hooks into a sail. About 2 hours later, they release it at the boat. We had a great view of the sail dancing on its tail

On our way in we catch a very nice Bull Dolphin and a skinny.
On a tought day for fishing, Captain Lee did a great job putting us on a couple of 100 pounders. Although I swear he looks like he's only 20 years old, he's clearly a seasoned veteran!
Now it's on the Big E 76 hour trip
