Saturday Cooking and Drinking Time

Double Weller.

Scratched the new boat today so I reckon it's mine.

Who did you go with?

Somebody with a great reputation and I ain't trying to tarnish it, but sword fishing is for the birds, basically here is how it goes, pay a lot of money, go for a boat ride and watch the deckhand fish all day, they had caught 2 nice swords on Thursday and talked it up and the organizer of our trip agreed to it, so it was our call. Anyway when we get out there they have one electric reel, rig up a squid and drop it 1500', for the next 5-6 hours the 5 anglers watch as the deck hand adjusts the line as he watches the plotter, finally get a hit and the deckhand reels it in and looses the fish, never once did an angler touch the reel.

We did stop and catch our amberjacks in about 20 min on the way out, and the saving grace was that the other boats that went after tuna did not have much luck

My dad and I ran up on a school of no shite 1000+ redfish this morning at the islands. All huge really pretty reds almost getting airborn chasing bait. Through a double rig and BOOM 2 huge fish on. My dad grabbed my Chronarch with a swim bait and before I even saw it hit the water, he had a fish one. I'm talking 36"+ reds. Really unbelievable thing to see.

I handed the phone to my mom but she couldn't figure out how to work it I HAD to get a bait out there. From what I've seen as far as red tide goes, this wasn't quite as big, but I'm honestly not sure.

Grilled ribeye steaks, chicken breasts, baked potatoes, and sautéed carrots.

Smoked a shoulder today. So good.

Beam and coke watching game 7
