Fished with Vince on his boat Black Bart, headed due south towards the teacup area leaving port at 3:30 am. Ride out was snotty but by about noon things calmed down and the3 fish came on!

Boated about 10 nice size Skipjack and one Citation size Wahoo.

When the Wahoo hit two rods went off at once - i grabbed teh wrong one and landed me yet another Skippy. about 20 minutes later after a big fight this 40lb 8 oz (at the Lewes Harbor scale after being on ice for a number of hours) scale

:twisted: SWEET!!! =D> How far out were you guys?

about 64 miles off

We planned to run further but the rough morning slowed us - things got nice by 1 pm and we made it back running over 30 kts the whole way
