Only the 2nd for the season.

Dropper loop with #40 mono; 8/0 octapus J hook; 8 oz sinker 3 to 4 ft below the hook.

thanks for watching.

the reaction...priceless

Sister-ship, Sea Jay had the fish working. We just pulled up and started catching.

you may be refferencing capture of the footage. Was using the "hindsight" feature on the Gopro Hero 10.

@@prchjrk Heh, sister tug would be more correct, but those two boats sure catch a lot of fish. I noticed you went into low gear when fighting the fish, did it help? I usually stay in high gear with WSB, but will go into low gear with tuna. Still, back on topic, I never have ben in a bite that was that wide open. I hope to one day, it's always more fun to get limits quickly and move on to rockfish or whatever.

@@Briguy1027 I used to go into low gear only when I get a sizable tuna or 'tail in a circle. The older I get, the sooner I go into low; even these over grown Tom Cod.

@@prchjrk LOL, I just went today and the WSB seemed to give up after a quick run, so didn't need low gear on 30 pound test. We didn't get limits but there was one point at around 8 am where a big school came through and everyone with a bait in the water got slammed by 20-35 pound WSB. First time I've ever seen a wide open bite. Unfortunately, it didn't last. This was on the Endeavor out at Santa Rosa Island overnight.

looking fwd fishing on her this year

so do I

Fished 30 years with Steve and johnny. Steve is one of the best fisherman I've had the pleasure to fish with. Johnny, she was the funniest!

great memories

thanks for watching

...after a year like 2020, it's nice to reflect back. Here's to a better 21-22.

Thanks...some great memories, especially after a year like 2020.

yes...they were good times.

#100 braid, #80 fluorocarbon

Hopefully we'll all get back to fishing soon...thanks for watching.

She loves her cruisin'...thanks for watching

..and thanks for watching.

That’s right

Thanks for watching.

Enjoy!

Wished I knew enough charter masters to get out on her on a regular basis.

Check with Fuqua. Spots open up time to time. Some local shops run trips on that boat.

We had 2 spots open last Monday.

@@yo2stix When? I'm currently prepping for a cruise with the wife; timing might not be right.

Love sleeping in them coffins!!!!

The Tak sleeps 11. She has no Galley; you need to bring your own food.

Heh, I sure wouldn't do a 2 day on that boat. It's great for fishing but not really good for creature comforts.

thanks for watching

Fish were stored in a large insulated container; iced down with ice stored in 2 large ice chests. The "container" was about 3ft high and as wide as the bait tank. Check footage 14:46

Thanks...I've sub'd your channel as well

thank you for watching

Yes, it was worth it and we would do it again.

...with 2 day limits of WSB, 5 Calicos, 1 yellow and assorted misc. I was satisfied. The others weren't complaining. The Island Tak probably isn't your type of sport-boat; no galley, no fish hold. All that said, he doesn't seem to have a problem getting bookings.

Everyone was pooped, if you were on the trip I am sure your arms would be sore! We finished up Limits in the early A.M. hours & had no more room left on the boat. Besides we pretty much all had our individual bag limits, no need to take any more.

We had limits of seabass, few yellows, 40 or so bass and probably another 100 mixed rockfish white fish and sheepshead. After cutting all the fish the first day then the early a.m. fish we had no room left in our ice chests to keep the fillets cold for the long run home. We thought about staying and fishing for more yellows since they were around but that’s when we realized why when we can’t properly take care of the fillets with no where to put them. And if that’s still not your type of sportboat that puts the customer and proper fish care first then idk what your looking for in a sportboat. I worked that trip and many on that boat for 3 years with Fuqua and it was one of the best around with an amazing client groups that have been there for a long time some as long as 30 years. This two day was the best two day we have ever had and it was a blast

Way to go. I have been on big bluefin or bust 2 day trips and called it good at 4 am, because we had 31 over 100lbs up to 268 for a total of 45, the fish hood was maxed. So, yes y’all did just as awesome and good call on calling it a trip. How much more does one need right🤙🏻🤙🏻. Great trip for y’all

Thanks...was a great trip; really enjoyed this one.

@@prchjrk looks like a great time

All excursions were booked with Princess. We paid for Princess transportation which bused us from the embarkation airport to the ship and from the ship to the debarkation airport.

@@prchjrk Thank you!

@@prchjrk Thank you. Princess charge a lot for excursions... We are trying to find other alternatives...

@@flm1977 you can try TjTravel they offer excrusions as well I have booked excursions with them for August

Frances Lim Princess guarantees their prices, if you find the exact same excursion for cheaper they will refund I believe. So dont forget too, that if you tour independently and it misses the ship, you are stranded. With a cruise line tour the ship will wait. Plus, if the ship cancels a port last minute due to weather or safety measures, you will lose your money if booked separately.

A great fisherman...I learned a lot just watching him.

Thanks for viewing and subscribing. I've been viewing your channel as well.

Would you believe chicken

An Avet JX reel; #40 mono top shot; Diawa Proteus 8ft, 20-50# rod.

Thanks...thanks for watching.

The red crabs were attracted by the lights while we were anchored for the night and were netted by the crew member who had the night watch. We used them the next day for bait when we went rockfishing. They worked, but not as well as the squid.

Great memories for us as well. Thanks for watching.

Thanks...had a lot to go through...once in a lifetime.
