Had a trip with capt Eddie Burger and capt Hoop Saturday. Left the dock around 6 in some pretty thick fog. Capt Eddie navigated through the pass and into the Gulf like a pro. These captains REALLY trust their radar.

Went to a shrimp boat to start the day off and by 8:30 had more than 20 blackfin in the box. Left them biting and headed to look for some yellowfin.

Starting chunking and got hooked up on a 60lb yellowfin. Landed that along with a 40 lb AJ, and numerous kings, and bonitas.

We also caught two smaller YF, around 30-40lbs, on topwater which was really cool to see.

After the chunking slowed down we headed in to a rig and started trolling for Wahoo. Caught 2 wahoo in about 45 min and took it to the house.

Great day on the water with a fun crew. We filled up every icechest that we had brought with fish.

final tally: 3 YF, 2 Wahoo, 1 AJ, and 20+ BF.

That sucks. Hope you guys can reschedcule in the near future. We were in 3-5 but we did not get beat up in the 36' Contender. The wind really picked up yesterday and today though.

That's the problem, seas should have really kicked up today.

Glad you had such a good trip!
