400+ BFT's mostly on jigs. 60 or so YFT's split 50/50 Chunking and Topwater/Swim Baits.(a couple on jigs)Nice bunch of snapper and a few real nice grouper. Est 600 plus Mako. Nice ride out. Nice fishing conditions, rough ride back.
Mcgolfer and Drshark were aboard to help Beachglo and Floridagirl get their 1st YFT's. Both did well with a lot of coaching. Mission accomplished. Jeff Houston (drsharks bud's first time out caught the biggest YFT at around 96ish#'s, plus another in the 70's. Jammer (Drshark's and Mcgolfer's bud's) first time out had 5 on the deck. The girls, Jammer, and Houston caught all their YFT's Chunking.
If you are on CINCO and conditions are similar, be prepared to work hard. The fish did not come easily. Forget the booze, eat well, drink the proper liquids, get decent rest, and most of all, be prepared before arrival. See some of you guys soon,like it or not. Drshark

Thanks for the report Vance!

What about Grescobia? I haven't seen a report from him, did he do the usual topwater thing or was he chunking or jigging? That guy is a fish catching machine!

It was reported on another board that Gres caught
8 yft. I will call him tonight for all the
inside scoop.

Good report Vance. You and McGolfer were onboard to help two nice looking women catch YFT's??? I guess you guys live right. <grin> I already know your response..."Well, someone has to do it!" LOL

Sounds like a great trip....see ya soon!

Grescobia did well as would be expected. Looking forward to fishing with him again on the GEM Trip. Mcgolfer and Drshark caught the fewest fish of all and gave all of them away to others. We had much better time playing with the girls from Fla. That is why we were there to start with. Drshark
