Hey guys, my girlfriend and I finished out our fishing season with our final charter on the Cortez 10-17 - 10-20. I can’t say enough great things about Rambo and the crew, they work there asses off. I hooked my fish at 8am the first morning roughly #150, the gear used Calstar 7400H, avet hx, 100 solid power pro, 80 premier leader, 3/0 mutu hook, 6oz rubber banded. After I got my fish on the deck my soul focus was to do what I can to help my girl get a nice fish on the deck. She had a tough break on loosing 3 nice kite fish due to not being able to get the slack in fast enough to set the hooks. She also lost a nice fish on #60 due to a hook that straightened out in the first 2 min on the fight (2/0 mutu). She finally hooked a great fish on the gear I was hoping she would. Seeker 1x3, avet hxw 3 speed, 100 solid spectra, 80 premier leader, 3/0 super mutu, 8oz rubber banded. As soon as she hooked up I put my rod in the rack and we fought that fish together for 45 min and it was on the deck #260. It was so much more satisfying for to you help her kill that fish than if were to hook and land it myself. She also got a #90 passed off by a deckhand. I can’t say enough good things about the Cortez and it’s charter master Brian Nguyen!
