29 March 2011 - Hein 25 knots North East

Slow trawling at 1100 rpm into the current with Maarsbunckers as bait proofed to fast for comfort. Y-Knot left the harbor at 06h00 and followed Windguru's directions to Patingo. Weather should have turned South Easterly by 13h00 but it never happened. The Wreck was gargling sand and forced the bone rattling anglers to High Point. Further South Hein was floating a top bait on the current and tangled up with a Mahi Mahi of about 4kg which he landed comfortably.

Following the birds onto the color line at outer anchorage in front of the Harbor mouth Hein dropped a Pearly White 5 inch gulp into a school of Yellow Fin Tuna. The Penn 360 wrapped in 4kg Berkly Fire Line worked up some high pitches before the fish was landed after the second run to the Bottom. Refusing his spoils of the 5kg Sushi Hein was left with less than half for supper.

Still complaining after a long battle with Northerly wind pumping into their face at 25knots battle weary Hein is burning up Stuyvesant like NOS on a knocked twin turbo sprint car.
