Well, not in the usual sense. Participants included Capt. delliot, Co Capt helliot, Tyler, Augs, Porkfetus, Rockstar Mickey, Yours Truly.

Late start 9 am got pushed back into a hangover start 11.30 AM. Ran the Supafishal out to Ranzells. The two plus hour run was populated by a whole lot of drinking, lots of bad jokes that left my gut sore, only surpassed by a bruised tailbone due to an misjudgement in shuffling over in my seat while the supafishal dropped 5 feet into a hole. Ouch. Glad co capt couldn't hear everything back in cockpit, it got pretty bad. There shall be no t-bagging allowed in said cockpit! LOL.

Found a rip and trolled up NADA. Oh well, let's tie up.

I'm a mangrove snapper addict. Problem is getting stealthy baits to them through the friggen chubs turned out to be a challenge, but still managed a few. Rockstar Mickey yanked up a Rock Hind grouper, quickly pointing at the beast saying: looks like bait, lookee that thing. To which I said noooooooo, we're gotta catch a dozen of those things and fry them up! (love rock hinds)

Fixing to run back in, Tyler hooks up with Dusky on Augs' heavy duty spinning setup (that I want to steal, Van Staal or sumptin like that). Gets off then Augs finds him again. So, a late start out turns into a late return.

Back in at dark (been through packery at dark a few times, no biggie), and hilarity continued. Undoubtedly the worst offshore catching trip ever but the most fun ever!

After further review of the video I believe that the shark is a Sandbar - note the larger dorsal. Also the Bermuda Chubs used their "skunk defense/smoke-poo screen" Only one was permitted in and it was like someone had stuffed a pinata with refried beans and beat the living daylights out of it only it wasn't refried beans and it was spewing poo all over the deck! That was the last one that was allowed on board.

Great Tyler. Thanks. You had to pick the picture where the captain was stuffing his face with pretzels? Geesh! Smile

Frayed you realize we may make you the official chef of the SuperFishal cruise lines now, don't you? Porkfetus is, of course, Julie your cruise director. Rockstar Mick would have to be Isaac the bartender, for obvious reasons.

Anyways Jeff, we *always* have a blast on the 'fishal. You just need to quit missing out on most of them. Come to think of it the last few trips all came back with a full fish box until you showed up.... hrmmm......

Glad your "supple bum" (as they say here in Tylerland) survived. Those 3' rollers can sneak up on you when you're going 30-35mph and catching some serious air.
