Well, our buddy Maggot is at sea. 

I wonder if he's the type to get sea sick in those big, rolling waves.

I never get seasick. Just got back after getting up today at 2am. Its 9:30 now. Thoroughly exhausting day. I learned how to fish for Tuna using a kite and helped bring up 15 lobster bales. I will do a full report some time tomorrow, but now I really have to get some sleep. It was grueling! Long assed drive and 10 hrs out that turned into 12hrs. later gators..............smallish boat with only 6 of us.

So how many did you catch, if any? Any pix?

Working on it Clyde.

A few pics. I ended up with about 8-9 lbs of Haddock, Pullock and Cusk. Like I said it was a grueling day and was beat when done. Not to mention the drive back in Boston traffic through the tunnel on Columbus day. That was 2.5 hrs if not more. It took 1.5 hrs to get there at 2 am. 











I didn't get any pics of the well but it had enough in it for all 6 of us. A small boat and I found muscles I never thought I had the next 2 days. I gave away my lobster. Who can eat just one?

Nice pix, some of the swells looked good size. Yep, grueling day, would you do it again?

I'm the idiot in the middle taking fish off the hook. Dogfish suck and I still don't get the hang of curling their tails over. Plus they have serrated knife teeth the top go out and the bottom go in. I tried.

Yes even on a Sunday. I did ask about night fishing but didn't get an answer. I figured the big fish would come out at night but I guess not. The kite fishing was really cool. Never saw such a thing. But it works. No Tuna, I guess they are really smart and can see the leader lines and they are also fidgety meaning they scare easy. But they fight like Ali.

Were you drinking Spamuel Addams?

[Maggot]

I only had a couple beers just didn't feel like drinking much. Had a few sandwiches though.

I'm glad it was a good experience for you. It looks cold!

Thanks for the pix, Maggottyboo.

Yeah, Guess as the old saying goes: The worst day of fishing is still better than the "best day at work"!
