Are you saying it’s worse for subs when they’re in a hurricane and are surfaced? Or are you saying it’s worse for subs in a hurricane and they’re below surface?

If below surface what makes it so bad?

Worse when surfaced.

You can “feel” the storm if you’re shallow, but if you’re past the 100 fathom curve you’re diving and taking a direct bearing to the deepest water available.

The N Atlantic is rough and you can feel it when you come shallow to prepare for periscope depth. It’s not “beat you up” rough, but I’m sure the Planesman would argue that point. His job is keeping ONLY the periscope and antennas out of the water and I’m here to tell you there’s no hiding when the boat broaches the surface, lol.

Other than that there’s no sensation of movement unless you’re hauling ass, turning sharp or rapidly changing depth.

We saw some marlin and a sail.


Wahoo was 46#,snowy grouper 34# ( just a couple pounds from state record ), and a 30 pound dolphin. Didn't show the bottom fish we caught but it was non-stop.

How many more snowys? 🙃

[DRDUCK]

Damn big ass SNOWY! Great trip!

Put him in a body bag Johnny!

[Duck Tape]

One snowy per day per vessel.

Started dropping lines at 6:30 and caught a tuna right off the bay. Nothing trolling after that for several hours so started bottom fishing and pretty much hooked only sharks. Did that for a few hours and started seeing the occasional fish popping the surface so started trolling a little bit before heading in. Last couple of hours saved the day with three dolphin and a 48 pound wahoo.image000000.jpg

Fourteen dolphin and a small (#25) 'hoo. And a racoon in the anchor locker to start the trip.

That sounds like the start of a Jerry Clower joke.

That’s a lot to fit in a white bucket.

Nice work.

Clark said, "gimme a rag" and went straight to work flushin' that thing to the transom, where Mr. Panda then had to make a business decision. First for everybody on board.

Did y'all fish Bohicket, WS?

Did y'all fish Bohicket, WS?

We did.

I'm guessing that laughing emoji is because that fish doesn't look lik he weighs that much and I thought the same thing. Wasn't even a question seeing it in person. That's what the scale said.
