Not so hot for the boys today - a few skin for a lot of looking. No shortage of sign on the outside indicated the presence of what they’re after but there it stayed foraging the deeps beyond their reach. Undeterred by what is a standard in fishing they remain prepared and determined to make good on whatever they find. Every day is different, for better or worse, and time is still far in their favor. In addition good weather is keeping the door open for whatever path they choose forward.

Photos today features a couple from the archives. Moments before the gaffs are driven home this beauty darted beneath the chine but quick action by the guys swung it back around ending the battle in our favor.
