Just a fantastic trip from start to finish...
If you had to write a script for an offshore trip this is what it would look like...
Glassy seas for the ride out covering the 100 miles in 5 hours...seas continue smooth though out the night, just a little light rain with multiple shots at long fin, yellow fin, sharks and some mahi in the mix. Seas will then build to 8 to 10s with some 12 and 14s sliding under the boat at times, just to make a exciting trip back home...
As most have already mentioned,
The Gamble did everything right for our trip,
Seldom do you find such a beast of a boat that can cover ground that fast and get you there with both speed and comfort the way she did and have such a capable Capt and Crew, definetly on top of the offshore game. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to go offshore on a party boat !!
Capt Bob found some nice warm water over some great structure and put us right on the fish providing action through out the entire night. The mates impressed me with their patience and how they delt with tangles, they got them out fast and were very reluctant to cut line and were always there when you needed them..
I was also impressed with how wide the isles were, making it so easy to pass another angler while working a fish, not to mention how big the cabin is. 23 guys plus all that gear and there seemed to be room for much more. A very quite boat while running as well.
Special thanks go out to:

And the Gambler for hosting our trip and working so hard to make it a successful one !!
Just put me on the list for 2015 Rick
