After starting with a challenging wake-up around 5:15, we made a quick breakfast and drove to Jordan, our mentor's house. We arrived around 6:15 and had a debrief of what the week ahead would look like. By 7:00 am we headed towards the docks to fish with Jordan on his friend Mike's boat, quickly heading offshore staying in between a depth of 150 to 500 feet. We learned how to fish by slow-pitch jigging, pulling the line up, and letting it flutter down in a similar motion to fly fishing. We caught two king macroll before heading inshore at 11:00. When we arrived inshore, we returned to Jordan's house to create a list for home improvement work. At home depot, we got conduit, PVC pipes, and concrete; we then returned to Jordan's to lay the setting for two concrete ramps, so he could properly put his boat in his backyard, which took us three, a couple of hours. In total, we worked 8:30 hours today.
Day 2
We woke up early again today at 5:30 am and sent Jackson out fishing with Mike and his friend at 6:30 am. Before meeting with Jordan today, Mark and I stopped for breakfast at Krispy Kreme. Jackson fished for mahi and tuna from 6:30 to 11:15, while Mark and I returned to home depot with Jordan to get more concrete. We spent two hours mixing and pouring concrete in the ramp frames we set up yesterday so that his boat could easily access its platform. We returned the excess concrete and a 2 x 4 at home depot and then stopped by the docks to pick Jackson up. On the way home, Jordan bought us pizza for lunch, and we planned what to do tomorrow. We worked 7:00 hours today, bringing our total to 15 hours and 30 minutes.
