aquarius 5/4
i went on the aquarius today at 6 am having not slept a wink. i was up all night watching tv and putting fresh line on my rod. i got to the pier and didnt see anyone else who was going to fish so i went to buy my ticket and the the lady said i was the only one there!. i was kinda worried that they wouldnt run the boat because there werent enough people. but she told me that as long as theres anyone ready to fish the boat will go out. :D the captain told me that i was going to be fishing in water 10-25 fathoms deep a couple of miles from the pier. he made it sound like that was a bad thing but i prefer fishing the shallow- get less tired reeling in and the fish fight more. the deckhand tied some dropper loops on my pole but they were a bit too long and i wasnt feeling any bites. after half an hour i retied my pole with shorter loops and the difference was amazing. as soon as i dropped in i could feel the smallest nibble! the captain asked if i didnt mind any music and put on the radio! it was pretty cool being out on this boat all to myself listening to tunes and catching fish- all for 37 bux!!! i caught some honeycomb, brownies, and a couple of ruby lipped tree fish. the deckhand and captain caught a sheephead and some rockfish. i got back home and passed out for a good 6 hours. it was a really good day :D
