We headed out early looking for warm water east of the cigar. Neighbor James on his first deep sea fishing trip hooks up shortly after we find some 68-70 degree water. Nice fish on board and we're ready for more. Water temps change all over the place, but mostly getting cooler. Finally decide to try NE. Found some marks in 180 - 2000 feet of water. Large fish, but we can't bring them up and our lowest line is only down 30 feet or so. We continue trying to find warm water, but can't find anything above 65, and no more fish. We had to head home early for some family time. Heard from Seduction II they stayed later (and further east) and picked up several dolphin after we left. Oh well, can't complain when you come home with fish on board.

good meeting you guys at the dock today (i was with James on seadation II), congrats on the big gaffer!

I was going to fish that water Sunday on the Warrior and today on the Real Estate, but decided not to due to a very blended water mix. Glad you got out there.

It was great working it out there with you out there today. We need to plan some more trips together this summer. I am glad we both got some blood on the boat to start the season.
