Today was a bittersweet day overall. I usually post a report here, but instead, I am going to post my notes from the day that I keep on my iPad as a personal log so you can see how it went down:
715 started in 500 fathoms about 8 miles from cut
Water temp 78.5 degrees starting in blended blue water
Started off chasing Tuna on the 500 and had a sail bite on the right long blue and White Sea star but no hookup so we switched over to the Billfish spread
835 Miss sail off switch from right teaser mackerel express
840 pulled hook on sail on left teaser squid chain on the dump switch
845 raised sail left teaser chain no switch
850 raised sail left chain no switch pulled off on left long dump naked
855 raised 1 right long blue white party skirt no eat
935 pulled one sail to spread from cuttin birds no eat
950 double: miss sail right long black purple party skirt and pull hook on sail left long naked
1000 miss blue right long black purple party skirt – fish caught me on wrong side, my fault on the call
1030 hooked 2 out of triple and released 1 sail. Had two fighting over the pink chain, funny sight
1105 I missed sail on right long, are you fucking kidding me today!
1120 sail pop right flat no eat on drops
1125 raise sail right long no eat
1145 right long dsblue party hat hooked up lost on turn. AHHHHHH
1210 hooked sail left long naked. About to go get it and pulled hook. FRUSTRATED
1235 lazy sail on left long naked, hooked up on dump when he faded and released it
110 left long and left teaser double. Switched and hooked 1 for release and lost other
115 right long, dump hookup and pulled hook
FINAL TALLY
0/1 blues
3/16 sails
Just one of those days. So many pulled hooks and bad luck but so fun regardless!
