Fishing day 2

Today I went fishing alone. My guide Mike had a charter running so he wanted me to come out to be his first mate and learn more about the fish in the area and certain techniques he has. We woke up at 5:30am and set off to go downtown Boca Raton. Mark and Sam spent the day helping our other guide Jordan fill in the cement in his backyard for his boat ramp. While they were doing that I was out with Mike and his charter looking for mahi mahi a.k.a "dolphin" as they say in Boca. We set off learning about habitats around the area fish gather.

Work day 7

 Today we went to Jordan's house at 9am to deep clean all of the fishing rods. We started by taking apart all the rods, and we learned how to take apart all the reels and line. Mark and I oiled down all the rods and reels while greasing up all the screws on the outside of the rod. This was really important to me because I love all of this fishing stuff, and Jordan went into great detail about the ins and outs of all types of rods. this was key information for us. We also rigged all the rods up to get ready for fishing tomorrow. We left around 1pm. Tomorrow we will have a competition day to see who can catch the most fish. split up on two boats. Mike and I vs Sam, Jordan, and Mark.

Fishing day 8

 Today we woke up at 7am to set off on a long day fishing. Jordan had us going out for big blackfin tuna today, we fished for six hours using the slow-pitch jig technique in 500-foot deep waters. We had a slow day due to the overcast and had zero fish up until the five-hour marker. We went to our last spot of the day at 1:30pm. We ended up hooking on to a huge 25-pound tuna. It was a length of 32 inches. This was a great fish to eat. We ended the day by cleaning Jordan's boat for an hour.  Hours: 8 Total: 61
