East Cape fishing report
I think yesterday was the day for the East Cape Dorado Shootout tournament here. I heard there were over 70 boats signed up for big prizes.
DTbushpilot said he was planning on entering. The wind blew like a hurricane for a good part of the day and I worry that boats or crews might have
been at risk in a very angry sea.
Maybe Dave will honor us with a report about his day, his winnings, the rough seas.

Sorry to hear about the bad weather conditions.. I also had friends from LTO drive down to fish the tournament.. Sounds like the entry was down this
year if only 70 teams were entered.. Better chance to win that new Toyota 4wd pick-up

Well, I guess Dave is busy cleaning his boat and equipment. I don't have a boat anymore so I went down to the beach and ran into the fish cop who told
me a little about the tourney:
The wind, as far as he could tell, didn't cause any major damage to boats or people. The winner caught a 16 # dorado, 2nd place was 12 plus #s, a 30 #
wahoo was caught and the biggest tuna was also 16 pounds.

Team Bite Me takes first place and a 2015 4x4 Toyota Tacoma with a 12.9lbs. dorado plus $24,000 in jackpot money. Team Borrachos & Amigos takes
the $509 &$1,000 jackpots for $40,000. Team Eat Me Lures on board the Julkate takes the Suzuki 140hp Engine with a 37lb. Wahoo. Congrats to all

We didn't win, the marlin and sail fish wouldn't leave us alone. We ran from them all day but couldn't get away from 1 sail and 2 marlin. It sucks
losing 30 minutes per fish that you didn't want..

So.....are we to chalk this up as a 'Bad day of fishing'?

Nope, no such thing that I'm aware of. We went out today and caught 3 "bubba class" roosters of 50+ pounds and a jack creval about 20lbs to help erase
the memory of our performance in the Dorado Shootout. I'd post pictures but we took them out of the water and I'm sure we did it wrong so you'll just
have to imagine what they looked like.

Sorta but they were alive last time I saw them. I think some of the fish slime rubbed off on Barry's shirt, he's probably crab food by now....the
fish, not Barry. Barry probably feels like crab food after last night though
