Thread: ferrel sea mount

  1. #1

    Default ferrel sea mount

    getting ready for 2 weeks at mag

    our buddy boat is in dry dock getting tuned

    going to try and fish the ferrel i haven't been there in 35 years

    last time i was there almost died

    dozens of high spots that i remembered seeing an almost hitting

    nothing on the charts to show they were there back then

    went to get some charts to upload yesterday to bone up on and still not marked on the U.S G.S 2019
    tried the Japanese maps same

    i always wanted to hit them again as i remember fishing was awesome

    the biggest yellowtails i have ever caught and lots of everything you could target for

    not that far from Guadalupe
    but nobody fish's it on their way down the line

    the mex 50 ton fleet doesn't go there as it's too hard on their gear

    so info is tuff only was told to watch out for ondas picaras
    by some mex abalone divers that go out there in super pangas
    ballsy move at the least

    hoping electronics will be the solution
    back then was the dark ages of sonar and loran numbers

    i had to go get a cb radio as thats what the pangas use

    told them i would bring them some Schlitz malt liquor and smokes

    they are now team players and my recon
    depending on weather, fuel and catching marked out 4 days for exploration
    then down to mag for that snook
