Default 4-22/23

Well we set off around 6:00 pmheading out to the sword grounds around petronious. We arrived just before dark and got everything rigged and out............Wasted all night with no luck on theswords.:booWell around 3:00am we decided torun out to the Ram Powell to see what might be going on out there........ When we arrived there were a few Blackfin busting here and there but not too much happening other than that. We set up a drift and drifted till daylight.......... again nothing doing....... At daylight we ran back to Ram. The water was cobalt blue and clear we chased the tuna that were busting for a while with nothing to show except a little blackfin, when I decided to try a chunk line for a while...... we no more than set up one drift and had two hits with one hookup....... after a nice little tug I pulled this little feller in We quickly set up another drift and Dad got to try his luck........... It wasn't long before he had a nice little fight on his hands......... This fish really put a whoopin on my Dad..... I was giving him so much lip the whole fight.........Telling him how this fish was whoopin his butt.....lol anyway ( you had to be there) After a long fight we put this girl in the boat..... No one was happier than Dad for that fish to be in the boat I wish I knew exactly what it weighed but It was definately over 100. I know it is the biggest one so far that Dad or I have caught so that is good enough for me......... Sorry for the rambling..... I am not the best story teller ........ After that one we drifted many more times with nothing to show but Rainbow runners....... we headed north to try and top off the box...... which we did with a nice gag, several scamp, a few mingos and a nice Queen snapper........ We caught a few Alamo jacks but let them swim to see another day........ A great trip to say the least.

great report and pics! I would love to see pics of your boat and rigging. It takes skill to do an overnighter with two men and a center console.

Being new to the jargon.. can you elaborate on the setting up a chuck line comment..

I can see the result, just need to understand the methods used.. looking to get out to the Patronis next time we are down to OB and the weather cooperates.. like to hear and understand all the techniques

Thanks
