Sorry for the late post, been out on vacation and busy.
Fished the Freelance out of Daveys Locker on Wednesday 19th with 55 of my closest friends.
The skipper and crew were great and made it easy to deal with the tangles and crowd. Props to the cook as well. Sorry I suck with names.
First stop off of Avalon we had two 25# yellowtail hit the deck and one was mine. Ended up losing a large jackpot by ounces to the other and only other yellowtail of the day.
We caught bonita to 6-7 pounds, whitefish, calicos (released) and a couple of rockfish. My wife was shocked how hard the bonita pulled. The dogs got a huge bonita before she could get it in and the look on her face when she pulled up just the head was too funny.
She handed the rod back to me when I tried to hand her the yellowtail. It was a bit hectic with all of the people and several seals around the boat as well. I had to pull so hard I was surprised that the 20# big game held up and got it to gaff before the dogs got it.
Had a great time and glad my wife did too and wants to go again. It's a lot easier to get permission if she wants to go.
Tight lines everyone!
