14727, 2.5 day trip on the Vagabond
Posted by Mattlures, Sun Jun-28-09 01:34 AM
We left Sunday(fathers day) and returned Wed morning. The food was great, the crew was one of the best I have been around. The captain/owner couldnt have been cooler. We drove down into Mexico and started fishing at gray light Monday morning. We started on a paddie for a bunch of small yellows. We hit many more paddies for a ton of yellows and some albies. The second day we got more of the same but found tons of bluefin. They wouldnt bite. They were crashing all around us but just wouldnt eat our baits or trolled baits. The boat did manage 4 of them but I honestly think those were the only bluefin bites. Nobody lost any. I ended up with 15 yellows and 4 albies. I started to release them. My buddy Mike had similar numbers but he stuck 1 bluefin which of course was the jackpot at 38lbs. He always wins the jackpot and he always tips it back to the crew. Hmmm karma? No I think he is just good.
