A Report from Bloody Decks from the Mission Belle
Went out yesterday on the Mission Belle. About 23 anglers on
board. Could not have asked for a better day to get on the water. Great bunch
of guys and a few gals as well. 2st stop and we got the 1st yellow. The only
one. I had a scale with me so I asked the guy who caught it if he wanted to see
what it weghed. Came in at 32#! On the next stop I hooked up on a big fish. It
made a couple of runs pulling 17#s of drag! unbelevable how strong these fish
are. 6X scambled egg. It was nice to get one early.
We made stops when we would mark a few and picked away at
them all day getting a couple at a time. Finally late in the day we got on a
small schgool and boated about 7 or 8 fish. I got my 2nd fish on this stop. A
little bigger than the 1st YT. About 34# on a 7X mint. We got around 25 fish
for the day. Had a blast on a Tranx PG and a new Phenix Hybrid 809 XH I
recently picked up.
Can't say enough about the crew and captain. At one point on
my 2nd fish I had 4 or 5 lines one me at one time and thought the fish was a
gonner but the captain was on deck having fun with us and got me clear.
A great time for sure and in the middle of winter
