My group book me for a sound fishing trip and put six adults. After I confirmed the booking I sent message back and said just so we are completely understood my sound trip are mainly a kids trip. This is a trip that after the trolling part we go and bottom fish and although we might catch 150 fish you might keep six. He sent message back totally understand and it sounds great I said all right. The group got to vote wonderful people and I told them that it was going to be a absolutely gorgeous day with a 15 mile an hour Southwest wind in the sound it creates a one foot wave but there's plenty of Breeze on a hot July day. After no bites on the trolling part I really felt bad for them but they voted to go ahead and go bottom fishing so we did we pick up we ran into my spot with the outgoing turn it took us away from the edge so for the first 30 minutes everybody was staying in there not catching anything and I really felt bad so I got my mate to pull the anchor we moved over 10 ft into the channel and within 3 minutes of dropping a line in the first fish was called and it was Non-Stop the next two and a half hours. During this time I saw college girls that thought debate was yucky turn into beating their own hook then got to the stage of taking their own fish off the hook and then become from drop down casters to being able to cast. All in all doing all of this the father turned around and look at me and said see I told you it didn't matter and I smiled. Then I look around and I saw three daughters a son a father and a mother standing shoulder to shoulder for two and a half hours no TV no phones no stereo no headphones no distractions in a family bonding well by all means I consider that better than a catching a yellowfin tuna you don't have enough of that nowadays. All in all after 150 fish we might have had seven or eight on the DOT you'll be able to have a small serving of fish tacos tonight and laugh about all the pictures that I took of them but the main thing is they call a memory that will last forever from the captain of the fishing Taxi God bless and tight lines!
