After a long hard week of trying to fill this charter, the day of reckoning finally arrived. First time Diva - Lori - came thru and everyone had a smile on their face as they got on board. The weather was a little drizzly, but very comfortable. No wind and no swells made the trip to Santa Rosa quite pleasant. I slept like a baby as I think most people did. When I awoke, a few of our guests were already on the rail, but not much was going on. Little by little the GCLAs surfaced and were ready to go. Since half of the charter was filled by men, I had to pull our new members aside and reassure them that this was OUR charter and not to be intimidated by the guys. When it was all said and done - GCLA reigned supreme. As Lori and I fished side by side all day, she was telling me that she had never won a GCLA jackpot since she became a member. Well, no sooner than the words came out of her mouth, she landed the winning "Goat".
No only was she the DIVA, but the GCLA jackpot winner and overall winner on the boat. We tip our rods to you Lori - you ROCK !!!
The newbies kicked butt as well. Tina is now known as "Tear'Em Up Tina" !!
Sandi was rocking those reds like nobody's business ~
And Tisha hung tight with us on the bow.
Jacqui, of course, never misses a beat, even living in the desert now for 6 years.
All and all, it ended up being a fabulous trip with everyone getting limits of rockfish and some really nice whites as well. Capt Tucker and all the boys were at the top of their game and took care of GCLA in their usual Mirage style.
GREAT job Ladies - that's how GCLA rolls !!!!!
