Have you ever seen one of these?  I am sure you have seen these before.  Nothing can stop us...  We will prevail!  Downriggin'

Dangerous Dave and I have been joking about mounting a rigger from the cigar lounge... Problem is not so much the riggers and speed, but how in the heck we are going to net or lasso the fish. The waterline is some 35' down!
Nonetheless, we hope to have a fishing report this weekend to you with a couple of pix of Marlin... yes Marlin! (Your tax dollars hard at work!)

Man, your killin' me, warm weather, warm water, sun, beers (I would at least) and a shot at marlin. Sure makes the rest of us standing, floating, fishing in the Northwest rivers and Puget Sound, in the winter and the cold...............look real smart.  I'm calling my travel agent.... Kev

KEV,
Will gladly swap spots... I would rather have the cold than the hot anyday.
We're just getting the fun stuff out of the way. By the looks of things, the next few months is going to be all business!
BTW, Dangerous Dave and I voted against posting the beer pix (BFG!).
Easy,
No Black Box, but our fish finder will reach 6000 fathoms!

Great post name, Outstanding Photos DR!!!! For fishing purposes, Dont they have forward throwing Depth charges? ... then you could just drag a net as you cruised on by.  Sign one of those smart bombs PP for all of us!

Wait a minute. The very top pic on this thread looks familiar. I think that's the jet sled that boondogged over my line last year on the Sky.

DR,
It looks like your still fishing at Green Pt. I thought your boat was only 22 feet. Did you upgrade? What kind of fish do you catch now.
Keep safe and give them hell.

Ah the memories. KittyHawk 1970-74. Good work DR. Thanks for the kewl pics. As for bringing the fish aboard we found that a grapling hook on 1/4 line worked well on yellow tails to 30lb.
Give em a piece of America for us. (always new that scrap iron would be good for something)
God Speed
Return with honor.
Thank you.

DR/DD
If you get a charter, I would recommend you go out to Waianae over the Waikiki boats. That's where we always went when I was stationed there and again when I was on Chucky V in 98. Always had good trips and was flying several flags everytime we pulled back in the Marina!!
Dave, can we reserve your bunk for Hi-Hium?? Hope you guys are doing well out there and stay safe!!
