  1. We hold over 1500 gallons of diesel and have a water maker that can make about 80 gallons of water an hour so the boat is self sufficient. Depending on what we are doing we can stay offshore for a week or more on our own if we want to but most of our overnight trips are 2-4 nights. When we do overnight trips we spend the night on the boat and either drift or slowly chug to a new spot. it’s too deep to anchor. Either way there is always someone awake on the bridge watching the radar and other electronics/equipment. All that said the vast majority of the time we do day trips leaving at dawn and back to the dock before dark.
  2. Regarding the reel discussion, I can only crank right handed on conventional and left handed on a spinning reel. If I do it any other way I look and feel like a regard.
  3. We are currently about 70 miles offshore of Pavones and 140 from Jaco. In the winter we are fishing much closer in - between 15-50 miles. First stop this morning was a bust so we are moving about 15 miles right now.
  4. Long version. Not sure we will ever top this one. This fish tail walked more than I’ve ever seen.
  5. Just pulled lines in for the day. Ended with 5 blue marlin and 5 sailfish. Raised 5 more blues missed 3 and 2 didn’t bite. Going to move a little further offshore overnight to fish a different set of FADs tomorrow. Short drone clip- vert blue peggy.mov
  6. Just lost a 500+ lb blue. That’s huge for out here. Bite has slowed down some since this morning we are 4/6 on blues and 2/2 on sails. Still waiting on my buddy to download his drone footage but he’s too busy pounding beers.
  7. We just got the best drone footage we’ve ever had. Show off blue. Posting soon. It doesn’t suck being able to do this in one of the top fishing marinas in the world.
  8. I am pretty sure you were giving me him anyway.
  9. We’ve been fishing for 2 hours now 4 blue marlin bites and released 3 and my wife and I caught a double header. Dealing with weather issues (rain) so not sure how much longer we can stay here. No drone shots yet can’t fly in the rain.
  10. Back in CR did a day trip today picked up 6 sailfish and broke off a nice blue on light tackle. We had a drone right on top of it when it broke off otherwise would have gotten a great show. Bonus wahoo and yellowfin tuna. Going to spend the night at Drake Bay and run out deep to the FADs early tomorrow morning to target marlin if the weather cooperates. peggy sail.mov IMG_2569.mov
  11. Seems like we really need a guard.
  12. Ah I forgot about that. Taqueria El Tapatio used to be great especially their breakfast tacos. It’s the only good food I ever found in Portland but I haven’t been in years.
  13. It’s not exactly a foodie scene in Corpus and especially Portland. Downtown Corpus I’d go with Republic of Texas or Water Street Oyster Bar
  14. That was my post that started all this.
  15. @immamacmay have a post for this thread. Or maybe it should go in IPIHB.
