Fishing

Today I went fishing. My father in-law chartered a boat and about 29 of us took to the Atlantic waters aboard the Tampa VII in search of bluefish. I am not a big fisherman per se, but I enjoy deep sea fishing. Maybe it's being able to have beer and potato chips for breakfast without anyone looking at you funny. Lunch was more normal as I had a hoagie and a Black & Tan.

As for the fishing: after we went out about 14 miles and stopped and were told we could drop our lines, we waited. After about ten minutes I had one - the first of the day for the boat. Of course, we only had a "biggest fish" pool and not a "first fish" pool. Just my luck. A few others caught some right after that and I thought we were going to be reeling them in. It didn't happen. It soon died down and for the rest of the day it was spotty; maybe 80-90 total blues caught and I guesstimate that the most anyone caught was six or seven. Anyway, I had a good time and look forward to going again.
