St. Pattys night sword - Cherry, cherry, cherry.

CAPTINMITCH · 03-20-2006, 01:16 PM

Well, while a bunch of folks were swilling green beer, Polar, Polar Jr, Sword Buddha and I headed out to the 50 to do a little cherry hunting. P Jr. had never caught a billfish, Polar hasn't had a sword on his boat and Buddha had a new 30 two-speed in need of breaking in.

Set up just outside of Flatsfish B and sat back to wait for the bite. Spreadsheet called for 8:10. So I'm looking over the side hoping to see Mr. Sword swim through the light and notice the 50' LP light deciding to go for a swim.Fish on. 8:01, sheet was off by 9 minutes. :lol:

From there it was a classic sword fight, big runs, worked back to the boat, see the boat, takes off again. After Polar Jr. gives it his all and whomps the fish, he graciously turned the rod over to Buddha to close the deal.

Now we're fishing out of a 19' CC so no flyer and no dart. Get the fish to the boat, I grab his bill, Polar pops a kingfish gaff in her and over the side she comes. Taped out at 61" back at the dock.

Cherry, cherry, cherry!!

Wind shifted during the fight and had a LOOOOOONNNGGGG ride home. Thanks to TJ for running point for us. We were all beat to death by the time we cleared the inlet.

Good job guys, Snap Crackle and Pop, your cherries.

Mitch - Hopefully you will so note that slight timing miscalculation, to compensate, so that you can be within +/- 5 minutes, next time around. :razz:

POLAR · 03-20-2006, 01:30 PM

Again, thanks Mitch! ready for the next trip whenever you wanna do it again.

quack quack · 03-20-2006, 01:35 PM

Again good job on that fish guys

Mitch did you ever find the gaff we sent over? :lol: You know if you had taken that extra gaff you would not of had a bite :shock: Thats the way it goes.Good job to all.Did jr get wet yet?

POLAR · 03-20-2006, 01:40 PM

Was that gaff attatched to the arrage of glowsticks that went flying at us? I beleive we got wet enough on the way back in :lol:

quack quack · 03-20-2006, 01:59 PM

:lol: You did get wet.It was only one stick and I bet it looked cool floating in the air like that.It was better than the extra squid :shock: I am not sure you would have even noticed that.Unless it hit you in the face yuck :!: No calamari for me :lol:

Yeah it was cool to watch but it was funnier that you knew I was going to give you grief back at the dock for littering. Guess I'm getting to cranky and predictable in my old age. :lol:

quack quack · 03-20-2006, 03:01 PM

:lol: :lol: :roflmao: I would have done the same to you.But from now on I think I am going to fish the floats like the ones Gen Turtle makes.

Yo B... there will be some calmer nights out there as the summer approaches. We'll get our chance to prove the little boats can git'r-dun!

quack quack · 03-20-2006, 04:38 PM

Uncle Buck · 03-20-2006, 04:49 PM
