SLI Wings and Wahoo, WOW 1/28/14

JerryB · January 2014

Me and my pal Bo (Let's Go:dog) Headed out on the Lucky Us at about 7:30 and missed the train by about 1 minute. Couldn't find any bait so set up a troll of the normal stuff and headed SE. Bo brought his famous wings and they were exceptional.:hungry Had a hit at about 10 AM and landed a nice 15# Wahoo so dinner was in the box. We went out to about 700 ft. and had no other hits and it was all quiet on the radio so no one was getting any fish. The seas were great and flat when we came in at about 1:30. Did see one Sail free jumping in about 70 foot on the way in but not much else but was a good day to be out, did I mention how great the wings were??
I think Bo will be adding a video.
Best of luck to all forum members.:crossed

Jerry thanks for another enjoyable trip, and thanks for the compliment on the wings they were good though. You mentioned that there was little chatter on the VHF in fact the last two trips has been quiet, I'm beginning to think that maybe we have stepped on somebody's toes and nobody wants to talk to us.

I must admit that you did a good job on our lonely Hoo, and I wasn't half bad on the gaff for a change I did not have to edit any of my misses off the video. I am not sure what is going on out there as I was very disappointed in the lack of life (birds turtles weeds and all other usual creatures).

As I gaff our Hoo I was sure that it was a lot bigger than it ended up being. It is surprising how much weight they can lose between the gaff and the scale!

I have a short video here and hopefully some photos of our adventures today. Please don't beat me up too much for calling our lure a plug.

Jerry is grinning like a kid with the new toy, I am to but luckily I'm behind the camera
