Christmas in June!
 

I guess it pays to be a good daughter. How awesome is this? My mom went to an auction and bought me a present. I get to fish on the Vagabond in Sept. on a 6 day trip! She got it for $500.00, valued at around $2000. I think I won the fishing lottery! It's in September and I'm already so beside myself I'm making my other half nuts!

$500 for a 6 day? That is a STEAL. I have seen 2.5 days go for $800. Not only that but in September with an el nino year. You may want to go out and buy yourself a big deep freezer.

and vacuum sealer

I heard that boat really sucks....September the water gets too warm......fish don't feed well.




Too bad you got suckered into that scam.






I'll take it off your hands for a couple hundred....just as a BWE charity thing.



:D

Hmmmmm
 

Let me think about it.....
No! I will take my chances. Have I told you how excited I am? Now I can drive you guys crazy instead of my other half! Oh well, more to follow.

Awesome Janine. The Fish Gods are smiling on you! Tight Lines.

Very cool mom! That's going to be an awesome trip! With an El Nino year, I bet you'll be running into some bigger grade fish.

Nice! Start working on what gear to bring as you will need a few set-ups to handle the big ones. Great fishing boat and captain.

Strength training big time
 

Thanks guys. I knew you would share my excitement! I have always done some light weight lifting once or twice a week. I am boosting it a bit to include lots of back and arms!

Mermaids are so lucky, congratulations. Have a great time. Catch lots and let us know how you do. 3 months and counting, enjoy.

Nice!

Wow! That's awesome!

That's awesome! You should love it!

I know you've wanted to try "Baja" fishing in spring, but things didn't work out. Now a few months later in fall,you're going in first class luxury.
I bet the fish will not be the only one that gets hooked!

Have fun, and good luck with those 100 lb. plus tuna.

Hooked!
 

Oh you got that right. Years ago, I worked in the sport fishing industry. I cooked a lot, decked a little to fill in for the tired deck hands, and I fished A LOT! I was hooked on tuna fishing then. But this will be so diifferent for me. Not only am I (much) older, but these will be bigger fish, and I have never been on 6 day range. When I say I have upped my weight lifting, I am completely serious. Even so, this should rock my little world! So looking forward to it though. Thanks for all the good wishes out there. This is a great community we have here.
