Rudee Inlet 6/10-6/11

Left Rudee Inlet 0430 on the 10th. Nice ride out Southport was cruising at 38 Kts to a point approximately 60NM southeast east of the 44014 weather buoy. Had Myself, Otter, Dustin, Brian Stedman and Dave onboard for a hopefully fruitful day of fishing. Had lines in the water by 0630 in approximately 68 - 69degree water. No hits for a while and then the winds kicked up to 20 - 30Kts sustained. pulled lines at approximately 1130 and started the long trek home. 5 hours later after running into a steady head wind and seas which were 5 - 8 we finally made it home. Dustin had a spill and messed up his foot and knee, he said he'll be fine but he will be signing waivers when he comes out on Still Think'n from now on, this is his 2nd spill on the boat.

6/11 decided to sleep in and make a late run out to the hot dog to load up on some blue fish for the family down in Union. Just myself and otter onboard this time. Made it to the fishing grounds at approximately 1030 and put a couple of lines out, before we could deploy any other rods had 2 Blue fish on the Penn 320's with stretch 30's out. That was it...non-stop action for the next hour on the Penn's. Ended up keeping 12 Bluefish for the family and decided to pull ines and head in. Home by 2PM...that's a nice day of fishing for sure. Again, the weather man really blew it the whole weekend. Even yesterday the winds were 15 - 20 sustained with some good 4 - 6 footers inshore. The southport ate the 4 - 6 up though, we cold maintain a steady 22 - 25Kts for the ride in. Water temp was 67 degrees at the hot dog with clear green water. Hopefully the Tuna will start cooperating for me soon. Until next time, Captain Bob out.....Bob
