98...99...100
 

day 98 Monday 12-13-10

several of our boys really like to go to the lakes and whack the trout...
we are always sharing stories and pictures of our adventures...
them with their tales of trout and bass at the lakes..
and me with my kayak chronicles and various ocean excursions...
the boys have never been on a boat in the ocean...
that was all about to change...
my business partner and I decided to have a
Private Charter Aboard the Aloha Spirit...
a Christmas gift to our hard working employees who
yearn to try the salt...
here are the lake boys!

I was a little , no...alot...worried about the seasickness factor...
as it turned out they all did fine...only one casulty...nuthin' a good barf didn't cure though...
fishing was kinda slowish at first, but the rockfish soon started coming over the rail...
this is Juan...the smile says it all...pricless!

the best part of the day for me was this...
most all of the guys were doing good...except for Rodolfo...
all morning...nothing but finger puppets....
he just couldn't get a bigger fish to bite...
even I was getting disouraged for him...
then it happened, the fish gods smiled upon him...
he brought up a 3 lb red and the JP winning chucklhead (5.25lbs)...
I almost shed a tear I was so happy!

and what fishing Charter would be complete without Mr. Pierpont...
he brought his guys too...and Sammy (middle) won the second place JP...
