08/01/2010 Offshore Report

The last trip of the weekend did not produce nearly as much action. We all needed some rest so we hit the inlet an hour later. We caught a lot of good sized bait but that did not translate into more fish. It took a couple of hours to get the skunk off our backs with Kim landing a bonito and a grouper. The only fish of the day. In our defense the water was almost too flat with no current or movement. When the current did pick up we had to run all over the ocean to dodge storms and couldnt keep our lines in the water. Still a great trip as anytime you are on the water, its better than being anywhere else. Paul did not make this trip and that may have been why we did not catch much. He has the fishing gods on his side for sure. Kim ends up with the MVF award, Luke the LVF, LJ the best mate, and Paul is the Clover! Great time with family and got to catch some fish as a bonus. Thankful for the weather and the time we got to spend together. As they say....catching memories!
