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

Blog day 3 (work day)

 Today we were out the door by 8 am, we set off to Jordans ex wifes house to completely take apart her 16x16 foot deck. The goal of this was to preserve wood to rebuild Jordan's platform for the boat he keeps at his house. we learned how to use several power tools, while also using crowbars, hammers, and mallets. This job was extremely long and tiring, in the 85-degree heat. We eventually finished, then jumped in the pool and headed back to Jordans. Once we got there we saw that the concrete ramps were filled in nicely and that we did a good job on those. We next unloaded all the wood and organized it in his backyard to take off all of the rusty nails on Friday. After all of this, we went home for a little nap and then went back to Jordas again in East Boca. Jordan showed us the rods, lours, and techniques we will be using to catch Wahoo and tuna tomorrow hopefully. Today we had a total of 7 hours of work and learning. We are up tomorrow at 6am.        ...

Week 2 reflection

                    Week 2 Reflection This week we learned a lot of different techniques for fishing and for construction. Jordan was less hands-on this week and more informative. He taught us how to dissect all the rods, clean them and repair them. While also teaching us how to do plumbing repair, and how to fix drywall. I really enjoyed this week, Jordan was thinking outside the box and has us doing a lot of great things.  On the fishing side this week it was rough. The actual fishing was not great. The conditions for boating were not good which made the fishing bad. We had two long days this week that were specifically for fishing. We went out and started looking for tuna both days, but had no luck. Jordan said to us that the dark blue spots in the water where the tuna hangout is way too deep. They were sitting in about 1000 feet of water, that's where the tuna will not go. If they do it is super deep and is e...

Jackson Downey Kelly Griffin-Brown Senior Project  May 23, 2023                 Florida Fun During our time in Boca Raton, Florida we learned a year's worth of job and fishing experience within fourteen days. Our mentor Jordan was a construction worker, who turned into a self-employed IT business creator. Now Jordan owns his own prestige fishing charter business down in Boca Raton. Jordan has shown us all the nitty gritty fishing techniques while teaching us the essentials for owning, running, and upgrading a home.  My personal favorite part of the whole trip is the fishing trips that Jordan took us on. Normally Jordan would charge $750 for five hours of fishing on his charter. He was nice enough to take us fishing on his boat five days out of the fourteen. To fish Jordan uses a technique called slow-pitched jigging. This technique is extremely common in South America where big tuna are prevalent in deep waters. The tuna we ...
