Just got off the boat from some pre-fishing. My wife earlier said - "the only word I hate more than tuna fishing, is pre-fishing" - it's so nice have such a supportive family. We didn't really fish with the wind blowing, but it was a scouting mission to see if we could make it through the southway cut on our boat. Still in strategy stage, but we actually did make it through, so more options are on the table to now confuse us further.
Came into Brax after for a few drinks and saw that our boat had received it's own drink - The Jackal. We obviously had to have a few. From the pictures above you can see it's a gritty, rough around the edges kick you in the ass type drink - just like us. Either way, I think it's a sign.
Grabbed some of the million of pogies in the harbor today (if anyone needs any - let us know) and then got banged around out in front of the beach on our way to the cut, but we made it. We also had the mechanic on our boat first thing, so between the boat running, spotty fishing, and now weather - there are a lot of variables in the mix.
Right now, weather is looking better - the tourney is on. We know that early am could be bumpy, but the front came through earlier and we should be ok.
I'm seeing a lot of texts flying around on strategies, locations, etc. and a few late crew changes based on some political infighting so tourney is in full swing.
We will be at Hot Stove for a few tonight - probably only 6-7:30 - to talk strategy/trash and take any last minute entries. Then we need to get our sleep.
For any late questions - hit me on my mobile - 617.216.5833 and tourney chatter on channel 69 tomorrow. Be safe, and good luck everyone and feel free to text me any numbers if you find the fish and I'll treat you to a fruity and delicious Jackal at Brax.
