2 days same guys

[capt hoop]

I ran a trip for Fishon Guide Service. Our day started slow and continued the same way.



The first fish was at 8:45. We were targeting bull reds and we started with a double. In 45 minutes we had 4 fish in the boat and lost 2 others.



As you can see in the pictures the guy in the background is fighting another fish. That flurry of action spoiled us. The rest of the day was a lot of casting with just enough action for us to remain in the area.



Our catch to release average was bouncing around 50% most of the day. We would have remained there but the winds picked up. When things got a bit rough I had to call the trip.




At the end fishing got a bit better but so did the wind and waves. We ended our day with a double. Our total for the day was 10 of 16.



The second day the boats were to be switched up but the same guys requested to run with me again.



The fish were waiting for us to play with us again today. Our catch to loss ratio was a lot different today.



On this day I even got into the action. As you can see others were a bit busy.



We spent the day drifting around picking at them.



This day went very different. We never lost a fish and went 17 of 17 for the day.



Hindsight they should have gone with the other guy. He ended up with more fish than I did that day. Oh well that's fishing in Venice. No matter how good of a day you have someone is going to do better.

Life is Good!
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
