To the crew of The "TinaLouise"

Josh, Mike and Matt Just a Big thanks!! I was watching the videos last night and you guys are smooth!! Even when a fish was missed with a gaff shot everyone stayed cool and calm. You guys didnt miss a beat. Just a thanks to you for fishing last week. If you have anything that could improve things on the boat post them for me...... Mark

Thanks for having us!

That right there was the most tense moment of the week...those chompers were ready to do some damage!! At least he gave us a smile for the camera!

The only thing I was pondering regarding improvements was running the short rigger mono through the last ring of the outrigger such that the short could be moved out to the long position after the long is hit. And the long could be pulled back and run as the new short. That would save a little time getting the lines back out but I think I'd have to see it in play...it might result in too much tangling. That's all I got, everything else is perfect!

You must not have gotten to my gaff performance on the last dolphin of the week, that will get some comments from the peanut gallery if posted...anything but smooth! Good thing he was hooked well.

Glad to hear that.

[Undaunted]

it was my pleasure Mark. I think if we had a hysterical person on the boat they would have been thrown overboard. Just does not fit our personalities.

I personally can not think of anything that would make fishing your boat smoother. Unless you think you will be adding an autopilot down the road for the triple hookups

Nevermind on my question in the other thread. That answers my question on the mount.

Mark, thanks for having me as part of the crew. Had a blast! Can't wait to do it again. Hard to beat the week we had with all the billfish action....hate I missed the Marlin earlier in the week......dang work gettin' in the way of fun.......

I don't have any input. I thought the setup worked great. The wind on's are a great tool! It was fun getting to play angler.....I haven't gotten to do that much in the recent past. On my own boat I tried to get others on the reel, and with my brother, we're getting his boys on the reel. It was a nice change of pace....hope I didn't hog the rod too much.......
