Blue_Runner 11-05-2008 04:35 PM

I'll start things off and MJ can add his pics later.
We met at the ramp at Green Harbor at roughly 5:30 AM. got out of the harbor and prepared to make our 20 mile run out to the south west corner of Stellwagon Bank just off the tip of Provinctown.
Conditions were flat calm.

Wasn't long until we were into the fish. It took a topwater Sluggo

Mark was the reelman on this one. He and I worked the reels all day long. MJ was the wheel man to keep us on course and a steady speed. Kenny worked the leader on this fish. I harpooned it and bled it out in the water. Things were like a Chinese Fire Drill in the boat for a little bit with a couple of tangled lines coming in.

Only allowed one fish per boat on HMS. we were back home by noon.
Great day. The boat ran well. Couple of fuel issues, but I don't think it's anything serious. It ran for 6 hours non-stop.
Thanks MJ
One more

A few more!! Yes was a perfect day!! I have some motor issues but I will leave that till tomorrow

chumbucket 11-05-2008 04:57 PM

Not a whole lot more to tell. I think we could have boated another one if we had deep diving plugs at slack tide. I ain't complaining though.
I guess another amazing point to add is that the motor ran continuously for six hours. 20 miles out. 20 back and a heck of a lot of trolling, and we only burned 28 gallons of gas. :clap:
Awesome day. Rest up buddy.
Thank you very much.:hi:
