You know there is an easy way to fix that SM...get a new boat...I'm hoping for a mild tradewind season this year after a some bad ones the past couple....

We got out the front of Dunk island nice and early Tuesday morning and both lures got hit straight up...I backed off the drag and handed my rod over to the french wwoofer we took out, while i gaffed the missus's fish and looked around to see him lay it on the gunnel and before i could tell him to lift it off off course I lost a foot off the tip, the fish and the lure...my bad...he said it was to heavy to hold hence sitting it on the gunnel...Gen Z, man..we are all doomed...

So i fed the missus's lure back out about 5m before it got hit again..she got sharked on that one so i chucked another lure on and she landed the next one as well...So 15 minutes in and she had our 2 allowable fish...The whole sounder screen from top to bottom was just lit up with Spanish over a wide area...I have only seen schools that thick a handful of times over the past 20 odd years I fished around here...big joke that they are so overfished...

Nippy last night and again tonight but gee the days are pretty niceand make outdoor physical work rather pleasant.....
