Weather was looking good for Sat so last minute scramble for a crew (me +1) no other takers. We headed out of Prince George county around 3:00pm on Friday, headed to HI ready to catch some fish! Ending up at the Marlin Motel around 9:00 pm. As were were checking in we ran across another crew that was also a few men short. We decided to combine forces and just use one boat there boat (25' Carolina Classic).
We headed out around 6:00am from all of the talk we decided to head to the Diamond Shoals tower and push SE direction from there. Lines in at 7:30ish, and we trolled, trolled, and trolled. not one bite. It was around 11:30 we had our first hook up (Double) two yellows in the boat! then we rerigged and got all of the lines back in about 30 minutes later FISH ON!! tripple this time, two out of three this time. Working on getting the lines back in and another fish on,while we were fighting this one one of the other lines gets hammered two more in the boat. Get evrything straight and work the same area for awile and then again hooked up, three on boated two and lost one (pulled the hook).
It was funny when all of the boats were ther working the area there was no bite, after the boats scattered the fish turned on. Not a bad day we ended up going 8 for 10 on the YF.
At the dock there was another boat weighing a 104 lb Wahoo, man that was a beast!!!
THIS IS A START TO A GREAT SEASON!!!!
