As the sun started setting we had good surface action but it was short lived and the sharks were thick!

Hmm, looks like the beer can
Re: Rig Trip 4/9/12 - 4/10/12
Im just going off of the names on the OCS sign on the platform itself. Our number for the Pertronius ended up bringing us towards the Neptune Spar. I thought the Beer Can was about 4miles from the Petronius? GPS showed up running about 90 miles sitting at the Neptune. I think the Beercan and Petronius are around the 70-80 mile mark. You may be right, I dunno. Im still learning. Either way, I had fun. May be called the Beer Can in the fishing community.

Re: Rig Trip 4/9/12 - 4/10/12
Nice fish bro! :headbang: So how many miles did yall go out?
Re: Rig Trip 4/9/12 - 4/10/12
According to our numbers and electronics, about 95 miles. Stopped at one of the 250 rigs for AJs then went south. I was hoping to get me a Yft but it wasn't meant to be.

Nice fish. Congrats on the first YFT! Love these reports.
