Rig Trip 4/9/12 - 4/10/12
Hit a few Rigs on Monday and Tuesday, heres a few pics. We caught 2 YFT and about 15 BFT 4 AJs, and a Scamp. Also caught Sharks and Big BoBos.
Smooth ride out

As the sun started setting we had good surface action but it was short lived and the sharks were thick!

Im just going off of the names on the OCS sign on the platform itself. Our number for the Pertronius ended up bringing us towards the Neptune Spar. I thought the Beer Can was about 4miles from the Petronius? GPS showed up running about 90 miles sitting at the Neptune. I think the Beercan and Petronius are around the 70-80 mile mark. You may be right, I dunno. Im still learning. Either way, I had fun. May be called the Beer Can in the fishing community.

According to our numbers and electronics, about 95 miles. Stopped at one of the 250 rigs for AJs then went south. I was hoping to get me a Yft but it wasn't meant to be.
