Trip is a go, looks like a downwind ride out , and again coming back.
I'll be on the boat 6pm on thursday eve and there for the night so y'all can sleep aboard if you like.
Of course, i won't be on the trip due to shoulder surgery, i could not carry out my duties as captain.

Fred, this is good news,thank you,I am not on this trip

I’ll leave early so I can come meet you Fred. Was hoping to get put with you. Hope to pull into Port A around 5pm.

It’s awesome they are letting people stay the night on the boat . Normally it used to be a meet and great time, check tackle and talk tackle, set up drags, tie knots etc.
to the newbies :
I would try to stay awake as much as possible and go to sleep once the boat leaves so you can sleep all the way to the rigs and be fresh all night. It’s a long haul ( I know they put new engines that will make the old girl faster ) and it’s best to conserve as much energy as possible.

They got a boat limit, someone should be dropping a report and pics. Hooked up three blues also.

Brian,I belive no boats were fishing over a month,no fishing pressure might be the reason
Any pictures guys?

 

[Eakf]

Really good group of guys with everyone getting along and working together. Deckhands were working hard and having lots of fun doing it.

Bite was hot on the troll and halcos with bigger yft coming on chunk Friday.
Troll was hot again Saturday am with more yft and the first blue marlin hookup. Second blue hookup was solid and it was dumping line until it jumped and broke the leader at the crimp. Folks were estimating 400lbs or so. I think Bobby got it on video, will check with him later.
Saturday night the action was mainly halcos and poppers early with a few bigger fish coming on chunk. Lost a nice pig of a fish when it wrapped on the prop after going all the way around the boat. We were limited at that point and Dolphin express had just moved to the drillship, so Ronnie decided to run in to try to catch the sunrise wahoo bite at southern. Unfortunately that ended up only being a couple kingfish and Bonita. Hit Aransas rocks as well on the way in, but with flat seas the action was slow.
