The nautical version: The Scott family being ocean lovers decided to take a fishing trip on their favorite VESSEL. Upon arriving at the SLIP the captain greeted them warmly and asked them to be careful as they stepped on the COVERING BOARD to enter from the STERN. As they entered the COCKPIT they noticed that their favorite boat had a new fighting chair to hold the SHIMANO 130’S. Quickly the deckhand oriented the first angler to the new chair while the rest of the family got comfortable in the SALOON. Refreshments were stored in the GALLEY and the trip got UNDERWAY. The captain slowly pulled away from the dock while the deckhand moved to the BOW to untie the PAINTER. Slowly the boat left the harbor and soon the lines were set for fishing. Two lines were set on the PORT side and two lines were set on the STARBOARD side. It was not long until the TEASER did its job and a Marlin bit the LONG CORNER. As is common practice the Marlin was released unharmed and the day was a success. Once back in the harbor the captain used the HELM and the engines deftly to back in to the dock while the deckhand placed the FENDERS as the boat was stored for the night.
The english version: The Scott family being ocean lovers decided to take a fishing trip on their favorite boat. Upon arriving at the parking place the captain greeted them warmly and asked them to be careful as they stepped on the railing of the boat to enter from the rear. As they entered the open fishing part of the boat they noticed their favorite boat had a new fighting chair to hold the reels and poles. Quickly the deckhand oriented the first angler to the new chair while the rest of the family got comfortable in the indoor covered area. Refreshments were stored in the kitchen and the trip started. The captain slowly pulled away from the dock while the deckhand moved to the front of the boat to untie the rope attached to the buoy. Slowly the boat left the harbor and soon the lines were set for fishing. Two lines were on the left side of the boat and two lines were tied on the right side. It was not long until the plastic fake fish with no hooks did its job and a Marlin bit the line that was set off the left back corner of the boat. As is common practice the Marlin was released unharmed and the day was a success. Once back in the harbor the captain used the steering wheel and the engines deftly to back in to the dock while the deckhand placed rubber inflatables to keep the boat from rubbing the boat next to it as the boat was stored for the night.
The new year 2020 has already used up one month. Fishing continues to be steady with our beautiful striped marlin and spearfish cooperating. On the Kohala Coast the humpback whales are abundant and putting on their show for all to see. It won’t be long and they will be migrating north to the coastal waters of Alaska. What an extraordinary journey for the giants of the sea. Their new born babies will be making their first of many treks across the Pacific. Our fishing fleet of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are in great shape sporting new carpet in the Mauna Kea as well as a new fighting chair. Kona waters have been normal for the winter with light swells most days. As always we are spoiled by our fishing conditions. We look forward to a great year. Happy New Year to all!!!
