Happy 4th of July! Freedom on the open ocean is so fun! No traffic lights, few other boats, beautiful scenery! Headed out on the Red Sea boat on the yellow brick road to the emerald city with my crew, the Courages Cat, Ironman Al, and me the Tiny Tinman. We asked the wizard for a sign and he gave us a rainbow to follow, so we did. Headed for the pot of gold. With no birds, no boats, no rubbish our port corner pops! Reels screams and the line peals out, 10 second later the starboard rigger slams and we got a double! Courages Cat steers perfectly and Iron man Al clears lines and starts to crank. I crank the other pole and somehow we manage to land both using the trusty 110 cm toto speargun!
Snap a pic or 20 and head in early….But wait! I decide to let the lures out just to check one other area on the inside ledge. 20 minutes later, another double in the blind! One shakes the hook and our team is on point! Ironman Al wisely keeps the line tight and Courageous Cat navigates the choppy waters. We bring it in 15 minutes to leader and it is on the side of the boat it tears the glove of Ironman Al. We secure it and this time pull all our lures out of the water and head into the harbor to meet the Wizard of Crow at the dock.
It was a dream day for all of us! We avoided the wicked witch of the west and stuck with our plan to follow the yellow brick road and by the grace of God, came home home safely with some meat on the table. Each journey we take on the Red Sea boat we get to see and experience different things. Opportunities come and go but we learn from each trip out. It's how we improve our technique by working together as a team. Thank you to my sea and land crew for always working so hard and making our journey together so memorable. Until next time, lets have some sashimi!
