Left Wed eve for an all day Thurs deep drop trip on a NS out of Pt. Pleas. 18 men and a cook! First off, hats off to the boat and crew. Every trip I have had (going deep) has been super. Weather has been great and fishing has ALWAYS produced for me.
1st stop is around 6:30am in 800-900 ft. Drop and real beautiful Wreckfish. Double headers all over. 4 short drifts and the BIG coller is full. 5 fish nothing less than 20 lbs. Some anglers had 2 fish on every one of those drifts. Took 2 drifts for me to get it right. Some doggies here but not alot. On the 5th drift and after nearly everyone gets their fill Capt. requests those with let those without drop down. Remaining anglers top off and we move on. Yup, we moved and left double headers for another day! Guys who had 6, 8, 9 of these giant fish didn't drop and didn't *****! Real class on everyones part.
No dought if we stayed, fish would have rotted on the ride in because you could not have iced what was there! I guess that's why I keep going back. I can't eat what I caught, I always give much away and love this deep fishing. It has been the silver lining in this ever shrinking arena we all love.
Next spot is 1/2 hour away and it's still 800-900 ft. but nothing but those endangered doggies!. Double headers, thankfully the not so big ones! Goldens start to show but not many. 2-4 barrel fish but way too many doggies. he moves 1 hour somewhere.
Third spot is 450-600 ft. Goldens and Bluelines. Nothing Large but quality. My arms are like rubber at this point and my mojo is on the bottom. I make some half hearted swings and miss em. No worries I had no room anyway!
FANTASTIC trip, great boat, good fishing, good fishermen, and yes a good COOK! Hot grilled breakfast, pancakes and all. Awesome cheeseburgers with all the trimings. Can't wait for my next breakfast on this boat!
