Hey folks-
The morning was spent finishing up our rigging and tying on fresh Flurocarbon. Charlie held a bait hooking seminar; showing the proper ways to belly, neck and nose hook a bait. Captain Russ also gave another on deck seminar on how to pull on big fish in the corner and how not to get caught in a bad situation while fighting a fish in the stern.

We arrived at our destination and started looking around about noon. For the first 2.5 hours we saw nothing! Not a single fish mark, bird working, jumper, nothing! Then, all of the sudden like a light switch the fish showed up in droves and it was game on! We kept 5-15 going until dark. The grade is unreal! The bulk of the fish is 65-90# and we caught a handful over 100# up to 135#. Great way to start the trip! We are anxious to see what the morning brings. Wish us luck and more biting fish!
