Deep Sea Fishing 10'

One thing that I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time to do it was deep sea fishing. I’ve always been a fan but never have been in the real deep sea. My co-worker Jerry unfortunately flipped his boat so we were not able to go out until he got it fixed. We found a great place in Daytona beach that only charged about $65 per person so we had to check it out, since I drive a car and Jerry drives an SUV and neither of us wanted the smell of fish in our vehicles we thought it would benefit the both of us to rent a pick up truck and throw the cooler in the bed so no one had to smell the scent of our catches of the day. The tour started promptly at 8:45 in the morning so we rented our pick-up truck near an Avis at the Orlando International Airport. Daytona isn’t that far of a drive from Orlando, its probably about an hour and a half depending on how fast you drive. We loaded up our cooler in the bed of the truck and we were on our way. We arrived at the boat ramp about 15 minutes early and we hopped aboard. This tour was well worth every penny spent. Included in the price we got to use rods, reels, bait and tackle. We also got free fishing licenses and they offered free fish cleaning as well! We got on the boat and couldn’t wait for the fish to start coming in, Jerry classifies himself as a professional angler because he goes out at least 3 times a week to catch fish and always comes home with something. This time I was on a mission to catch something bigger than him! We were not using our own equipment but that really didn’t bother us at all in fact it as a great thing that we got to use what the people recommended especially because they have been doing this for years upon years and are completely interested in only giving their customers the most out of their money. The first fish came in, the person who caught it was right next to me! That easily could’ve been my fish but its okay I’ve heard there are plenty of fish in the sea enough times to know that there are plenty of fish in the sea. I’m sure that wasn’t the only fish we would see all day. A few minutes later the next fish came in! Unfortunately Jerry caught that one, for it being the second fish of the day it was also the largest fish as well! As soon as Jerry threw his hook back into the water I caught a fish, it wasn’t as big as Jerry’s but at least it was something, about 40 seconds after I dropped my hook into the water for the second time I caught another one, I was surprised that they just kept coming in and in! Jerry and I went back and forth on the fish catching competition for nearly two hours straight until we were both pretty tired and wanted to sit down before we did it again. We were pretty disappointed that we weren’t able to see any sharks or dolphins but we were too busy catching every other form of wildlife that lived in the deep blue. At the end of the day we counted pound for pound to see who the winner of this trip was. It turns out that Jerry was by about 4 pounds even though I caught 3 more fish than him! Overall I had a great time and plan on doing it again some time in the near future!
