Holy makeral Harry! What are you going to do with all that cat food?



Ha! Not me, not my boat, but a sistership that regularly goes far offshore.

I would never keep that many fish.

If those are what I think they are, I wouldn't be publishing a photo
of them.
What do you think they are?
Baby blue fin.

Then again, maybe not.

In either case, it's quite bothersome to see that kind of "catch".

The pertoral fins are too long for those to be Bluefins, their
probably Longfin Albacore. And their really small ones. I don't thing
we've ever kept one under 30 pounds, probably more like 40 pounds.
Those look like their all well under 10 pounds.

Heheheh.

The point of the photo was not the fish.




What was the point, that the guy in the boat knew how to fish? Or
that the kind of boat allowed you to catch more fish? If it is the
later, that would make for one hell of a marketing campaign.


Ever been 74 miles offshore in the Atlantic in a 21' fishing boat, Reggie?

I've been to Bimini from Port Everglades in my 19+, how's that? What's
the relevance?

No, it really sounds like a stupid idea. It makes me think about
the line from the movie Jaws "I think we need a bigger boat". I
have made the run from Miami to Bimini, but it was much bigger than
a 21' fishing boat.



Well, some guys have salt water experience and balls, and others boat
(allegedly) on Lake Lanier.

Well Harry, you definitely have big ones, based upon what you tell us.



Bigger than yours, I am sure, but I am not crazy enough to go 74 miles
offshore in the Atlantic in a 21' boat. When we lived in Florida, I
would go out 20 miles or so in my small SeaPros, but always only in the
best of weather and in a "convoy" of others boats.

Christ - now we have multiple Seapros. I guess my balls are bigger.
19.5' to Bimini and back. Solo with a GPS, VHF, and EPIRB.

Our Waylon is more of an 'armchair quarterback'. He talks a good fight
but at the first sight of a breaking wave would scamper back to a nice
shrinking, shallow lake.



Who is Waylon?

No, I think you got that wrong. While I have done quiet a bit of
boating in the Atlantic, I prefer not to discuss the details because
all it does is stir up a lot of "oh yeah, I don't believe it".


But you don't mind discussing and often disparaging the details of others.



Please don't whine about the lack of other people's "details". Will you
ever get it, Krause?

Only if they use those fabricated details in an effort to disparage
others. There are very very few people who do that.

It's that low transom thing.

It looked to me that they jumped through that hole in the transom. I

Bottle nosed dolphin certainly are. Our trawler is a veritable

That's because they are doing three times your speed. :-)

I was going to mention they were attracted by the smell of ripe fish, but
I didn't want to start anything. :}


Yabut, I know what he's saying. I remember well the sight of dophins
playing ahead and alongside the bow when we traveled south on the Navigator.
There's something very special about them .... I think they know us.

They also will be attracted by sailboats under sail. I think they just
love to play in bow wakes.

Bimini is a very popular destination in S.Fla, and their are always
convoys going over, so it is not really dangerous when the weather is
right. 74 miles off shore in a 19ft boat would not be recommended by
many. My guess is even Mr. Parker would not recommend it.

It was a one-time trip. We were already fishing 20+ miles out (without
success) and the seas were flat. It was still a risk but a trip we will
never forget.

BTW - It's 55 miles from point-to-point. Since we were out about 20
miles due east we cut to trip there to about 40 miles.
