Limited Load 3 Day Limited Load Mutton Marathon - Feb. 15th to Feb. 17th.
Came back almost a full day early to avoid the thread of a furious cold front approaching Dry Tortugas. We knew of the threat this front presented before we set sail, so basically we ran and gunned to the DT's to take care of bussines and cross Rebecca Schoals back in time before it pounded the Tortugas.Just got home an hour ago, stay tuned for a full report with pictures, also expect an outstanding report from Cameron Sleep to come!
Preview - Six and one half totes of Muttons on the very first drop of the trip !!! :fishing
Got pictures!
Left Stock Island on schedule, knowing we had a window to take care of business and haul **** back to port before the anticipated 30-35 mph winds and 9-11 foot seas. FISRT bus stop at 5:00 am yielded SIX and ONE HALF totes of Muttons. Proof is in the pudding...
Some pinkies...
Here's Chad one of the 3 most excellent mates that I've fished with...
For Sunrise City greg took us to Jurasic Park in 170 foot depth, this is what I managed after about an hour or so...:fishing
Breakfast time... Joe second best ever galley cook on the YC, first place goes to Renata washing over us from heaven :angel
Ahn's pool winning near 40 lb. kinfish, beating my 20 lb. pinky for the honors and the $$$
My favorite eating fish Cuban Silver Snapper
Impressive, and running back to Stock Island before The Perfect Storm, Muttons ruled the totes
Help me welcome the new YC nite captain... not his first rodeo for sure Capt. Derk :hail
Art: "Greg would you please take my picture" Greg: "another picture of you? :grin
20 pound Muttonium
Capt. Greg - looking out from above (literally)
A picture is worth a thousand words!
This shot belongs in the YC website - a classic shot

I can't take much credit. The night crew was on them. I just topped the boxes off. I wished we could keep some ARS and groupers, we could have been home in sooner.
It has been good couple of weeks.

Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey! Let's here the rest of the story Art!
Myself also...probably after Grouper opens back up..lets hook up along with Jake!
Set a date...and lets do it!
My apologies... I spent two hours last night trying to post pictures and I was unsuccessful.
It's not like I. Do not know how, I've posted pictures before, the darn thing kept saying "down load failed" or when I went a different route it would tell me "picture size is too big" :huh
That is a nice big mutton.
I had fun too.
Greg
I was wondering about that one myseld ...but if you like it you eat it!
No joke at all...
That's what you guys in the industry tell the tourists when they catch a jack, barrauda or bonita,
and then... "you would like to get it mounted? :hail
Can't wait for a trip this year.
