Date night with Capt. Dave??
Date night with Capt. Dave??
Well….. not exactly. Had a chance to get out there and go hoop netting with my wife, two of my sons, and my daughter and her boyfriend. We asked Capt. Dave Hansen (www.yoursaltwaterguide.com) to join us, and we were pleased when he accepted. My daughter’s boyfriend had never been hooping before, but he was a quick study and a great help on deck. In fact, the kids pretty well ran the operation on deck. I hope we can all do it again very soon.
It was a pretty nice night out there – a little windy, a little cool, but not too bad overall. We enjoyed a nice dinner and, in spite of a bit of rockin and rollin, my wife even baked brownies (while we were hooping) for dessert Their was little competition on the spots, the sealions were not a problem. We used salmon for bait and never fished deeper than 45ft.
Called it quits around midnight. The kids all managed to get a lobster or two during their turns at pulling. We didn’t fish too hard, but still managed 7 legal lobsters and a half dozen rock crabs for the night.
Be well. PL
