We had a new Captain in charge of the boat today. Bryan had a cut hand and we (Sara and I) decided he needed to drive so not to get fish gunk in the cut. Well we camped out in the same general location as I have in the last few weeks and had another great day. Bryan did keep us out of the gil nets and crab pots so I was really glad to have him behind the controls. Sara as you would expect did a great job with her side of the boat. We caught a bunch of fish, it was not as hectic as yesterday but the ratio of keepers to unders was way better. My guess is we caught 30 total and caught limit of 3 nice keepers (it’s the new 40%). Brain gets his sense of direction from his dad but with Sara’s help we actually got him to go RIGHT once in a while.
I was glad to have them on board and got treated to breakfast as well. Could hardly have been a better day on the water. The air was crisp but the sun and the seas were just as perfect as you could get. The water has gotten under 60 for a change and is now about 59.
