We headed across the banks at night. It is an 80+ mile run where your option is to drop the hook in the middle of nowhere for the night or just plow on through. We've tried the dropping the hook and never liked it much so this time we opted to leave in the evening and just keep on going.
It was a good run. The winds were light but enough to keep us moving at 4-5 knots. When the wind dropped we motored until it picked up again. By mid-morning the wind had filled in and we were
cruising 7-7.5 knots into the Tongue of the Ocean. Given the great weather we decided to continue on. The Captain snagged the first fish of the season - a nice 41 inch Mahi. I have a new rod and reel this season bur no fish as yet - so I am jealous of his catch. I think I will take our friend Ken's advice and start spitting on the lure for luck
