Westport Tuna, Sunday 8/22

Sunday forecast called for 4 x 10 with 10 kts wind. I got a crew together and decided to run and go for one more load. Buddy boated with Stacy again and Lawrence. On the way out at around 35 miles I run over some rope. Engines stopped and we had to cut the rope. I thought our trip was over. Luckily the engines fired up and after some tense minutes of observing and listening for anything weird coming off the engines, we were back on our way.

This time the tuna weren't as close as last Sunday. We had to go 50+ miles to find fish. We found some small pockets and really couldn't get the bait stop going. We would catch ones or twos and then back on the troll we go. We had one bait stop for 5 fish and had one more that got us probably another 12 fish. The rest were on the troll.

Carried 60 bags of ice and 4 adults with no problem. 60 bags would be good for 35 properly iced fish.

Boat is going to Charlie for a check. I got a Rev Limit light blinking while flushing the starboard motor. Gonna get that checked out too.
