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 3
We had a little bit of a sleep-in today and met Jordan at 8:00, ready to take apart a wooden porch. We needed to remove a 16 x 16' porch at his ex-wife's house, so we could get wood to build a platform next to his boat ramp. It required us to cut through the wood and hammer it off piece by piece, and repeat the process. The process was very long and tedious, and ultimately it took us three hours to remove the porch. We brought the wood back to Jordan's house, and neatly laid it out in his backyard so we could be ready to go tomorrow. We took a break and returned to house his house later, so we could rig the rods for our fishing trip tomorrow. Afterward, we went over the itinerary for fishing tomorrow, making it clear what we will fish for, and what rods we plan to use. In total, we worked 7.5 hours today.
