Just incredible. Looks like a great trip even with questionable weather. Bonita are a blast to catch as well. Good to see them around in numbers and size seems a little larger than normal this year.

I was on a boat that looked exactly like that one the day after. Those fish were immediately bleed and put on ice. They are one of my favorite eating fish in our inshore waters (Spanish mackerel slightly above it). Stopped at a Sushi place and grabbed some rice. Skinned and trimmed the filets. Put in fridge to firm up. Sashimi'd it and put over a little ball of rice. Absolutely incredible. Like butter. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

The only response is: WOW!

\QUOTE=dales529;584737]With the weather forecast and the MI issue wasn't sure what to expect but we headed down Sunday night through the monsoons and flooded road debating what the hell are we doing? We knew it could be a river fluke trip but always better to fish than to not to!!

Anyway we were rewarded with a trip for the ages with our favorite Capt and Boat! Cap greets us in the AM with a smile and says good news we can get out He recommended we go for bonito as they were around and the fluking may be suspect after the blow.

Got to the area with Gin clear water and fish were waiting for us! All the Bonito, blues, seabss etc you wanted for hours. All on jigs with birdlife and old school mayhem with everyone hooked up at once all the time. What a blast! Pictures tell the story.

Added a few quality fluke on the way in waiting out the tide for a clean shot back in the inlet.

Eight of the usual suspects made the trip and those that bailed are sorry today thats for sure! Life is short get out there whenever you can. Listen to the captain not the weather forecast LOL.

Thanks Capt Jerry and Sean!!!![/QUOTE]

What the captain lacks in size he more than makes up for in drive, ambition and heart. He's simply the master of his trade and while many do it right he takes it to a different level every day. We're fortunate to have charters like him who goes out of his way for his customers every trip.
