Jeff
was on board today for a last minute trip. He was in town on business and had
some time before his engagement started so he came straight from the airport to
the boat ramp. This is my kind of guy. The first cold front of the year was
looming as we headed out. We were only in the ocean a little while before the
front blew through, much stronger than forecasted. The wind messed things up a
little for us and we couldn’t go fish where I really wanted to but we made the
most of it and the afternoon turned out OK. Jeff has just begun to fly fish so
fly fishing in the very strong wind was challenging. For most of the trip Jeff stuck
with the fly rod, he didn’t get any monster fish but what was lacking in size
was made up for in numbers. I believe about 25 to 30 fish were landed on fly. Considering
the conditions Jeff did great by catching Blackfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Bonito,
Spanish Mackerel, Blue Runners and Jack Crevalles. If only the weather over the
next few days was nice (which it isn’t) I may have been able to convince him to
squeeze in some more fishing and go straight from the boat to the airport on
the way home.
