First time there, unfamiliar waters and stopped paying attention for a short time and Bam...... we were stuck :yike:
Stripped down to my boxers to get a rope to our other boat to tow us off,it as nervracking,that's for sure.
We did end up with 1 hali in the boat and I will let captain silver tell his story :chuckle:

When we got on the open water heading to Hein bank the seas were rough and small craft advisory still in effect with forecast of 15-25knts wind . We decided to change plan and stay close to the shore .... we managed to get nice 46" hali into the boat at around 10 am :IBCOOL: ....but nothing after that and I must say Pete is the best gaffer there is - he stabbed the hali with the hook and liffted it up into the boat while I was screaming "DON"T LOOSE THAT FISH " :chuckle:
The first picture was taken by me standing in the middle of the bay while Pete is turning around to get me and I'm screaming "JACK COME BACK"
Overall it was success ,everyone got 1/4 of my fish for some fish and chips .......
I let Pete to add to or change my version of the story ..... I for one had a blast even though my boots and pants were wet all day long ........ :chuckle: :chuckle:

So, your secret is chasing bait from the shallows in BVDs? :chuckle:
Good story for sure.
Probably served up better while munching fish and chips.
Anyone who hasn't had a mishap with a boat either doesn't own one or hasn't put enough time in.
I think everyone takes a turn in the barrel at least once...but in BVDs! :yike: That is special.
All you were missing was a tourist boat to sail past - Don't look Martha! Ahh ha! Thats some funny stuff. :chuckle:

You have to excuse my writing skills ,not like some story tellers on here ,just plain and dry ...
Pete had a scale on the boat and it weighted 47lbs .... the fish checker measured it 46" long and based on the table http://www.iphc.int/publications/bulletins/lenwtimp.pdf it might weigh 46lbs = about right :dunno:
We were jigging with 2&3 lbs bricks and got him in 180' of water on just spreader bar ,15" circle hook leader with green/white 6" hoochie upside down and piece of squid ..... no other scent used .

Nice fish and good story guy's. Martin texted me the pic right after he caught it just to rub it in my face! I went to the Paine Field air show with my son that day so I didn't get to fish at all. I'm glad everything turned out good and that no one got hurt. I'm going to try to fish this weekend for shrimp and Hali's in area 6 or 7.
Me too, rubbing it in..... :chuckle:

I'm probably shrimping Thursday morning. Might go look on Lawson Reef for more lost shrimp pots and make a few extra $$. I pulled 12 on Sunday, though three broke off, including one of a friend of mine's. One guy lost all four of his pots, but he got two buoys w/line and two pots back....

Had to do some stuff with my boat making $60 an hour, so that made up for no fishing.... :chuckle:
