Fri- Fishwhisperer and i ended 3 for 7. FINALLY hit my 20# King. 3 kings up by Onekema.

Sat. - Fishwhisperer and I finished 8 for 17 . Randy hit a nice 19.5 lb in AM

My cousin and friend went 1 for 2 with a 19.5 lb in PM

Sun.- 1 for 1 Steellie on cousins boat w/ 12 rod spread.Fished 100-430fow

Mon- 1 for 2 and had to pull at 830AM. Laker and lost steelie on cous boat

Belt loosened on alternator and we stopped to try to retighten. Not enough juice to fire up:( Towboat US said they could come at noon for $600-800 the 4 miles straight out to jump. We called on radio and offered a $100 for a jump. Some VERY nice gentleman in a boat "Linda's Earnings"(could be way off on name) came right over and gave us a jump. Those fine gents wouldnt take a nickel or a laker. We owe a HUGE THANK YOU to these fellas. Turns out the past karma from towing others came back! Motor started charging but dropped on way in. We had to fly thru harbor and it quite right at dock doing 10mph in a 23'cuddy. Some how we pushed enough to not grind down the glass on her. That was some show at the dock!!!

All in all great weekend. We fished 30-430fow. 110-120fow was best at dark. Tough fishing but the biggest fish ive ever seen. Definitely a bit o trafficThanks to the guys that offered advice and help. Randy will have to add some pics and clarify gear as it was a blur. We lost alot of fish and some gear.

What worked-

225' 45# copper with NBK took 20# and 19.5# kings and missed alot of hits, Miami dolphin down 65 on rigger, blue meat rig on wire dipsy out 150-180, Black screwball on rigger down 30', U of M frog on 250' copper, 7 color w/? , white nuclear SD w/ blue fly on wire, Killer Dolphin, MS Flounder Pounder, MS Liberty, MS Mongo Beef Plug
