          Outbound Port Aransas Harbor - time to bust out an ice cold beer for the jetty bar cross with The Crew!

          Tradition - with a Bourbon chaser

              As we sail offshore - some nap.......missing a few of our Crew who couldn't make the trip. Vacation in Niagara Falls I believe?

                    Get to Hoover Diana before sundown and proceed to troll. Picked up Cuda, Mahi and Blackfin tuna. Lot of bait in the water column and the currents are in step with the prevailing wind - SE flow.

                    Rick on a Cuda.

                        Bisch catches the his first Yellowfin Tuna on the troll. It's also the first Yellowfin tuna for the trip.

                        It's customary to eat the first tuna heart from the fish you kill.

                                We steamed over to Boomvang, leaving the tuna bite at Hoover. This move will at least show which rig will cover night two's tuna action. And this puts us within a short 2 hour run to the grouper - deep drop area fishing 200 - 900ft of water.

                                Picked up a couple of tuna at Boomvang - and leave at sunrise for the deep action.

                                We picked up Almaco Jack, Barrel Fish, Vermillion Snapper and assorted Grouper. Dusky sharks circled the stern as Mike fished for Makos.

                                This is Chuck's first Amberjack. Not in season so this dude was released after the photo.



                                Almaco Jack from 900ft - fishing on the bottom.



                                900ft Barrel Fish - wonderful eating fish - flesh is white. Massive pupils - considering these fish only in the deep regions of the Gulf.
