Last week in July

For the most part, it was a successful week fishing. We had some insane action and luckily we were in the right place at the right time. We made some big moves late in the week and it paid off. These fish were much harder to get on and on spike mackeral which made them picky at least to our offerings...Whale shows were sick and it is so great to see your customers appreciate mother nature in this regard and not just look at a trip as *meat on the deck*
Fishing this time of year during commercial bass season can be taxing and if your fishing anywhere near where the commercial fleet is you can plan on launching at 3am to get a parking spot.
I work hard at staying away from the fleet to give my customers a unique more relaxed trip. Most times it pays off, sometimes it doesn't but when they ask u for more dates at the end of the day u feel u must be doing something right.....
I have been mixng up bass and tuna trips and must say It screws with the brain going back and forth....U need to get on a vibe and stay there. Unpacking and repacking the boat with bass/tuna gear gets tiresome...U lose your vibe and get in a funk!...hah....
I have really been digging the new SIMRAD NSE electronics on my sled. The echo sounder graphics are sick and I am picking up birds on the 4kw radar with ease.
Anyhoo...here are a few pics from the last week....Supposed to be getting valve adjustment today but mechanic is AWOL....Looking forward to 2morrows tuna trip....I hope they can cast...
