What a week... We went from flat seas and record fast catches early on in the week to super rough seas and still fabulous fishing mid week to a BROKE BOAT and still great fishing towards weeks end ! This fishing report is going to be a bit abbreviated because I am flat out tired and cross eyed from the weather and all of my boat related problems. Fishing has been very good every day for us and everyone else out there this past week. It just flat out is as good as it gets right now. Actually it could not be any better !
Wednesday while coming in after yet after another great day on the water "The Trophy" experienced some serious mechanical issues with the starboard engine/ transmission which required the boat to come out of the water and for the engine/ transmission to have to come out and be repaired. Serious business ! After everything was fixed and the boat was about to go back in the water late Friday evening yet another problem cropped up requiring the engine to be pulled yet again on Friday evening as late as 7:30 at night long after everyone else had already long called it a day !
Special thanks goes out to Ronnie at Jacks Marine for going out of his way and giving me 110% of his effort to get me up and running as quickly as possible. Well, I can't thank you enough for working well past quitting time to get the boat up and running again just as you had promised me that you would and have it back to me for my Saturday early morning trip... THANK YOU !
And also a extra huge special thanks goes out to Capt. Taylor and his identical Cherokee boat to mine, the "Taylor Made" for so graciously giving me the use of your boat while mine was in for repairs on Thursday and Friday and above everything to go out with us and acting as the first mate while I did what I had to do to get my guys day in and salvage the situation the best that I could. Thank you Taylor... You have always been a good friend and your generosity was very much appreciated by me and my guys who so eagerly had waited a year to go out and were scheduled to go out those particular two days when the "Trophy" was doomed to be down and out of commission. Hopefully this coming week will be a much more uneventful week then last. Again, stay tuned... !
Capt. Walt
