referred to them as “Lobster Condos.”  After the scoping we fished and then returned home.  I slept on John’s Hanna Montana bean bag on the way back.  I was beginning to feel like a pervert and would have felt more comfortable with a Heather Locklear bean bag.  I asked John to work on this before our next trip.

I almost forgot, we caught fish, 17 to be exact, including Horse-Eye Jack, Black Fin Tuna, Snapper and Wahoo.  I caught the Wahoo on monofilament leader using cut bait while we were drifting for bait fish.  I thought nothing of this until Hal and John informed me that Wahoo easily cut through a monofilament leader and have been known to cut through a steel leader.  That’s the benefit of inexperience.   I didn’t know what I was doing, and apparently neither did the Wahoo.

The seas were calm, the weather was great.  We had a great time and I learned lot from Hal and John.  I only wish that more anglers signed up.  We were ready with two boats and could have handled eight or nine anglers.  We’re a fishing club; let’s go fishing.
