Shoot me a PM, happy to elaborate or buddy boat next time. I slept on the boat the night before in AssOwoman so in addition to sleeping bags etc I had a lot of stuff I really didn't need so yes it was crowded. Next time I plan to dump a lot of that crap in my truck the morning before I run out to lighten the load. I only burned about 16 of my 24 gallons but I also brought an extra 12 gallon tank that I kept in the starboard corner and burned first so I probably had close to 20 gallons extra. The center cooler you see is my bait well and the other cooler to port is for bait.
I also had trolling gear and a harpoon in case I got a mako but didn't use/need any of it. I bought a 4 gallon bucket of bunker chum and netted a half bucket of peanut bunker plus loaded my live well before heading out. I also put a dozen small Jacks in the well at the sea buoy on the way out, that's what the cobia ate. I had a much larger Dolphin eat a 3lb Bonita on my shark rig but it jumped off. The previous trip I had a White marlin tail past me while I was out there so I figured those jacks would be good pitch bait or possibly tuna candy. Originally wanted to go to the 20f fingers but with the late start and possible PM thunder I figured Jacks Spot was far enough. I monitored WX regularly through the day to make sure nothing was developing, that's one of my biggest concerns

I cleaned the fish at Sunset Marina, the guys at the tables looked at me like I was nuts when I started pulling Dolphin out of my cooler, perhaps.
