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 12
We wrapped up working with Jordan on Thursday, though we each continued our projects at home. After staying with Jackson in Marblehead, I went home on Sunday. I was unsure how to continue to fulfill hours for my project, so I watched a couple videos of blue marlin fishing tournaments in Florida. They were very cool videos and their trolling techniques looked very similar to the ones we used. Since I only got one hour of work, I ended up fishing with my friends off the pier at home around sunset. We were just going for scup by dropping lures to the bottom. Unsurprisingly we were unsuccessful because piers are some of the hardest spots to fish. In total, I only worked 2 hours today.
