Fourchon LA

Well this is it!!!!
Weather forecast is hot, light winds, possible ground swell,
but word around the dock is another depression formed up and is
easing its way towards us, and the offshore wind and seas had picked up
drastically overnight,
guess we will see soon!
It is 4:30 am,
I tossed and turned all night with excitement,
we get to weigh an extra fish to make up the second day of
the Ft Pierce,
so we could really get ahead!

FISH ON !


DAY One!

SUCKS!

we ran out about 35 miles straight out, caught some small fish,
but then had a huge fish, face at us, sky on a bait,
missed it,
then cut back and freakin torpeado'd it, right at us,
big,
real big kingfish,
as it blistered the line off the reel,
i grabbed the wheel,
the rod was already in another hand and to pass it would be
dangerous,
and being a very experienced driver, i felt confident in catching this fish,
sometimes, much more confident on the wheel esp. on borrowed boat,
i aggressively threw the three motors into forward and spun the boat,
as we headed to the fish line,
it slacked as the fish cut the line with his tail, and ran away forever,
it was an six foot leader,
that's six feet long of cable wire before the monofiliment line,
that means this fish was about that long,
yep
we never use that long of leader,
but we lengthened for the bigger fish here,
apparently not long enough
we finished the day with alot of 30 lb fish,
weighed in a 33.and change,

no good,

we could conveibaley crash and burn tomorrow for the year without 2 big fish

we will see

weather not so bad,
but not perfect

hope your day was perfect!!!!

more later with sleep!
