Capt. Sonny and Darryl had a great week while I took some time off..Darryl had 6 yellowfin on a recent overnighter..Sonny had a white marlin, 2 bull dolphin, 2 wahoo and several yellowfin and blackfin tuna this week, including 6 yellows and 10 blacks the night before we left..For my my first day back was another come from behind last minute victory in the 4th quarter..it certainly helps captain and crew avert near disaster trip!!..Just got back to do an overnight trip with 5 days of rest under my belt..man was I ready to go..from the reports I had been reading and hearing about through the coconut telegraph I was excited and optimistic..got to the dock Monday morning to be held off by thunderstoms for 90 minutes, no big deal..Willie had the Cabo ready and waiting, and there were at least 2 marlin and 8 tuna a few dolphin and a few amberjacks waiting for us..made bait very easily, thanks to capt harvey's scouting report - greenies and coin sized blue runners and speedos aplenty..60 perfect baits..headed SW looking for the billfish bite in the Canyon..nothing doing..but at least it was flat calm and cool..made passes at Medusa, Mars, Usra and even by a 20 ft long tree!! Not one strike, not one fish seen..very little bait..water made a slow transition from blue green to blue 3 miles past Medusa and there was a remnant of a SW/NE running grass line and slick..pulled on it most of the afternoon..nothing for our effort and anticipation! Well at least there would be plenty of tuna waitng for us at Sonny's tuna hole..darkness came and nothing seen but a rather comfortable looking pile of flying fish and squid under the flare..not one tuna spotted at Mars or Ursa..managed to catch two 20 pound yellowfin on glow jigs down deep, along with a few blackfin for bait..anyway, around 11pm we decided to run back to Medusa where we had seen plenty of medium sized tuna while pulling the big baits..I was very frustrated and bitter at this point and even made a comment to Willie that at least I should be happy that the weather was perfect (calm and cool with a bright harvest moon) and the boat was running great..shortly thereafter the seas and winds picked up and we found ourselves in a very choppy 3-4ft headsea..about 3 miles from Medusa the spreader lights took a stutter step, went dim and bright and then faded into darkness..this signifying that something was amiss with the generator..no big deal I have plenty of experience with a 5kw Westerbeke having taken mine apart on many a dark and steamy night at sea and at the dock, sometimes minutes before a trip...went to raise the deck hatch..nothing but a strange rumble..no big deal..just add ATF and we should be in business..nearly got sprayed by the ram as the seal burst with he first inch of altitude..given the conditions I made the sarcastic outburst..'great..who needs lights and AC to catch fish anyway'.. ...made it to medusa, salt glazed and confused, finding it difficult to confirm the presence of tuna amid the whitecaps or even more befuddled to re-rig for different methods in total darkness..it wasn't looking good..made the decision to climb between the engines for a little recon, generators are always mounted in the most accesable places in mid sized boats..anyway, it was proabaly a clogged fuel filter or block in the fuel line..determined that the run solinoid was creating problems which with one tap of a hammer put her in perfect sync..this after the entire fuel line was purged in the 10 minutes before that revelation..man did that feel wonderful..on my back, rocking in 3 ft seas, laying down in a bath of Bilge Monster excrement (warm deisel/saltwater and oil mop residue and broken cable ties)..at least the small victory was therapuetic..but the return of lights didn't make it any easier to catch tuna..didn't even get one strike, chum, live bait, jigs, poppers rubber flying fish - to which the reamining faithful on deck called flying squirrels..after conceeding the obvious defeat, we made the decision to head north to try some bottom fishing; wasn't in the plan but thankfully I had grabbed 5 rods just in case before leaving the shed..problem was we only grabbed a single pack of 16 oz weights before we left the dock so we could catch 1-2 amberjack as planned.. ...if we had been on the albemarle it wouldn't have been so much a grave situation..as I have a reserve of 6 of everything that would rival most tackle wholesalers stock..anyway we were locked and loaded for big game but short on bottom fishing tackle..plenty of rods, but just about enough material to make 6 bottom rigs with 2 weights in reserve..stop number 1 was a total bust aside from one 20 pound gag and a 15 pound red snapper on 10 drifts..I had talked the place up too much and it yielded about a dozen undersized red snapper and plenty of little fish taps..a first! About halfway through this little adventure I noticed that the seal below the tuna door was leaking..a quick inspection of the deck fish box proved that all theice had melted and our measly catch of 5 fish was in jeopardy of spoiling.. About daylight the sqaulls pounded us and we made our way to a famous AJ hole more for protection from electric shock than anything else..those that braved the heavy fresh water rinse were rewarded with all the sharks and barracudas they could stand..1 each..not looking good at all..I looked at Brett Graham for the last time, and not this time not to curse or to apologize..but to rally the team for the game winning drive..with a near full livewell I think I surprised them by punching through the weather and heading back to the south..we were going to put at least one AJ inthe boat or die trying..her's whhat we had to work with..5 functional poles with 100 pound power pro, 4 heavy weights and 4 bottom rigs left and 2o baits..first drop yeilded the first of many jacks followed by 4 more grouper (the largest a 64 pound warsaw) and 6 snapper to 18 pounds..headed in with our heads up..what a turn aroud..I was even surprised but acted like it was all part of the master plan..we even had to use our drink box and ice from the bait coiller to ice the new additions to the fish box. and to think I had contemplated walking away from it all the night before..Never!!!and now I can afford that new camera and digital video recorder instead of having to refund the fare..look out Kevin Ford and John Jackson! Should be the last time I have to wait for pictures of it all..we even caught anoter huge warsaw grouper yesterday Paradise Outfitters ..985-845-8006
