20May Oregon Inlet Trip

got to the fishing center with Steadman and Otter...Met Mike (Gusman) of G&H Lures....we were the ONLY boat at the ramps at 0520...wind was blowing pretty good but it was west/southwest....got in line behind the charter fleet and had a pleasant run out to the 550 line in about 150 Fathoms where the break was....lines were in for about 3 minutes before we had a triple header...it was pretty much good action all day on the Mahi....only heard and saw 1 YFT caught today..there was a blue Marline hooked up but he got off....we were visited by about 3 billfish today but with tight drags and tight outriggers they didn't come tight....ended the day with 14 Gaffers...all quality fish....Otter got his Biggest Mahi today...seas were really not bad today...was able to make 30Kts comfortably both in and out...lots of wind early but quieted down offshore later...inshore wind was whipping pretty good when we got back in....Hot lures of the dayGet Reel TIKI BarG&H sea witches and chuggers....our planer got hammered while trolling a orange and black islander by a pretty nice bull.....great day with great people.....Bob
