What a disappointing attempt at a Cod fishing trip.
All of the CTFF and Capt. Phil's crew arrived plenty early.
We all waited out in a stiff cool breeze waiting to hop aboard.
We left the dock with 20 fisherman, not the 30 that was originally discussed. We may have lost one or two of the group to Massachusetts finest, reasons unknown at this point.
We all settle in, the galley is preparing the breakfast sandwiches everything looking good at this point.
Well, then things took a turn for the worse. Everyone was requested to put up another $25 to help fill the loss of dollars because of the small turn out. I don't think anyone was happy but we came to fish so the extra money is payed out.
Then the collection for the pool, which was a $20 dollar bill which I thought was a bit high for a pool.
As the trip out continued you could feel the sea's building, after an hour steam out and one good wave collision, the capt. turned it around and we headed home. Our trip money was refunded, the pool money was a contribution to the crew and fuel.
I was looking forward to a great trip since my previous trip was canceled twice. This trip itself was a disaster, but on the upside I got to meet john7110, and Fishon2 (Capt. Phil) here from the site and Phil's group of hard core fisherman.
I'm not going to second guess the captains decision to turn it around, but I feel the the poor management of the of the powers that be for this trip was obvious.
I'm done whining, I will be watching the reports and looking forward to my next real cod trip.
