Day #2 started with a stiff SW wind once we got offshore but still made it to the drop. The AJs were still hungry but I think the sharks were even more hungry. We had a lot of fish but a lot of tackle lost to the sharks. Caught plenty of sharks on jigs. The winds let off in the afternoon and caught another nice Cobia and also a African. The high light of the day was Ken breaking in his new Blue fin popping rod set up on a 9 foot 400 lb Hammerhead shark. After a 30 minute battle the line parted with the shark 10 feet below the boat. There are some great videos coming when Peter gets home. Just want to say thanks to Jonathan, Peter, Ken, Joey and Tetsu from www.bookfishingtrips.com for 2 days of none stop action and it is only the 1st week on March.

Today was the 1st trip of the season with Jonathan and the guys from bookfishingtrips.com and what a start. Jon, Peter, Ken brought down 2 new angles and I think they are hooked. The weather was OK with a big swell but still ran 35 mph all the way out. It didn’t take long and the action started on the 1st drift until the last. I tried to keep count and gave up after the 1st hour with 25 fish released. Then we found the Cobia 7 total most were 35 lbs and the largest weighed 65 lbs at the dock. We had large sharks and found some 53 inch fat AJs. Tried to find the tuna in the deep but no takers. The guys were worn out and ready for the rest in the bean bags coming in. Stay tuned more tomorrow.

Sorry for the short report but a little worn out.
