Ouch....Slammer

[Heartsblood]

Ahhh. I wish I coulda been there! Getting seasick didn't stop me from fishing - I caught two lings just too small to keep. The Captain tried really hard to let me keep one - he measured it twice - just because I think he felt like I was really trying to get one between heaves. In the end the rockfish limit sufficed.

I knew FC had the ling bug. Did you guys both score?

How did the conditions compare to our first trip?

Sounds like a good day Funny members rubbing elbows and not even knowing it

It was a great day compared to our trip Glen and you were really a trooper on ours! That day was rough as hell and you fished the WHOLE time! Rhett had to boot one puker out of the head while Chongo was reeling up the guy's abandoned gear and the other guy camped out under cover about half of the time. I figured the trip out yesterday was a pretty normal day since that was my average experience on the ocean, Rhett and Kyle were both calling it rough!

We really had a lot of fun and it was much better for me with my own rod and reel this time (lefty), we could have used the lings we got on our last trip as bait to catch the ones we got on the Slammer!

That's awesome! I'm stoked for you guys. And I'm glad you were more at home with your own gear! I can totally see Chongo taking care of the extra rigs (read: moving abandoned chit outta the way...) all matter of fact-like, to get down to business.

That's great you two!

...and cool the other forum members that were on board as well. Small world outta Westport. Nice!

sounds like the last time I went out, me and another army buddy crabbed and shark fished (which for us meant killing at least 2 cases of beer) all night before, my wife was eight months pregnant the fishing was great but at the end of the day the hang over took over, I was adding to the sea level while reeling in  wife was such a trooper though pole under her arm with 3 good size sea bass on using the rail to help hold it up and yelling at me for baiting all her hooks..

read: moving abandoned chit outta the way...

ROFL! He no sooner got it cranked up than the old guy came trucking out of the head right up to the rail and.....RAAAAaaaAAAWWWWR!!!!!!! I laughed so hard I lost a rockfish double halfway up the rail  The best part was when the next wave hit that side of the boat about 5 seconds later and launched his puke all over his pant-legs

I kinda felt cheated this trip due to there were only 2 people blowing chunks over the side....That is almost the best part of charter fishing is watching people call Dinosaurs over the rail.....RRRRAWWWWEEERRR..........I can't wait for next year so we can go for Halibut....
