Season Drawing To A Close

Posted by Quentin Knights in cornish line caught tuna

Today could be the last day of the season! Days are closing in the fish are going deep. The weather is breaking...this certainly isn't the place to get caught out in bad weather even in this battleship! The trouble is we need at least 10/12 days to have a chance of getting a trip. A trip is enough moneys worth of fish to pay the expenses. Have enough left over to share between myself, the crew! Just to try let you understand the running coats of my vessels per trip is approximately £6,000 - fuel lots of it, ice lots of that too, food, lube oil etc. That means we have to catch £6,000 worth of fish before we even start to earn any wages, that's a lot of fish believe you me! If we don't get a trip because of the weather I'm left with a pile of debt, so in a nutshell this might be the last trip of the season. I will make my mind up when I see the long range forecast when I get in. Had 70 fish today, but I feel the end is near! Happy Aniversery Jax...hope there's many more to come....love you so much....see you all soon xx Regards Captaino.
