H&M 5/20-21

First off, DavidE, it was tight fishing with you bro. Cant wait for the next round.

We booked an overnighter on the Sea Adventure 80 and everything ran pretty smoothly. We both got there on time and we both had the right gear. Got on board, chatted it up a bit and it was off the bait reciever.
Decided to toss a plastic during the down time and BAM, first cast I hook and land a small Bolina. David Snaps a shot.
I hit the sack and David untwists his line before he knocks out too. I get up at 1:30AM when the boat stops to see if there is any fishing to be done. I toss a plastic out for a bit for nothing. Chat with Patrick who has the night shift. Dude was on Deadliest Catch which was pretty cool. He ends up hooking and releasing a large squidder. After that I decide to head to bed until dawn.
Morning rolls around and people start fly lining baits at the anchored spot for nothing. This rock pile is dead so we head to the Coronados. First drift I get to the bow to toss a scrambled egg heavy iron for nothing. David hooks on to his first fish at the stern. 20# class yellow oughta do it. He's only got 20lb test but he manages to turn the damn thing around after it gets close to spoolin him, skills right there. Fish landed!
Next few drifts I switch between the iron and bait, but end up sticking to bait after a while since the iron only produced two fish the whole trip. I hook up to a nice barry but that was it for me. no yellows=(.
David hooks onto another fish, so I get the camera to snap pics of the bendo but NOOO, he pulls it up before I get there. Skills again for a nice barry.
It was pick and roll for the next few hours and the boat counts reflect that. 21 anglers - 12 Yellows, 2 calicos, 5 Barries

Till next time, FNN should really do a Charter..

What up Nick!! Always good fishin with you, bro! Next time we head out you're gonna hit those yellows, I can feel it!!

This trip was defietly a good one. The Sea Advent 80 is a bomb @55 boat. There was way enough room for everyone to fish and most of the people on this trip knew the over-under drill. Those that didn't definetly learned by the end of the trip.

The galley was ran by Hank. Man that guy is good!!! Can't say enough for the deckhands and captains. This whole boat worked hard for us. That is something that didn't go unnoticed and we definetly showed them love when the time to tip the crew came.

Anyways good times, awesome vesel with the light load, hard working crew, no jerk types onboard, and my pb yellow!!!

Peace

Great report.....I have 8 spots left for my 2 day on June 11th on the Sea Adventure 80....$299 a person thats almost half price

[SanDimasLMB]

nice yellowtail, was it the JP fish? good job :thumb:

[DavidE]

San Dimas LMB - my yellow was probably 3rd or 4th in the JP. The winner was a beast of a yellow!!!

Next fishin and Ghetto - stop hijacking Nicks thread !! :gayfight: LOL
BTW 28 people on this boat still equals plenty of room!! I would love to go with you Steve but I can't take any more fish days till July!.

Eric U - 12 yellows were landed and maybe 4 or 5 popped off. The weather and current were not cooperating on alot of stops. We did the best with what we were given. The San Diego had a similiar count but they had 54 anglers!!! So all in all we did ok.

Peace
