06/14/15 Capt. Paul had the Vincent Tate charter on board the Bounty Hunter today. We did not have a good start to today's trip. With the customers on board a turn of the Starboard engine key produced total silence. Diagnosed by Capt. Paul as a bad starter. Took a while to make the repair and we got a late start. Paul ran up north and joined the fleet in what was a starring contest. No life, No bait, No Blues and No Bass to be found. We trolled Spoons and never had a touch. Thank God the charter had an adequate supply of beer, beautiful weather and a calm ocean. A late day move to the south and we got lucky. We trolled one (1) Striped Bass and that was it for the day. Stayed out later but that did not help. Off Monday. Be back at it on Tuesday. Looking forward to those Open Boat Fluke trips, Call and book your spot today.
