Wild Goose Chase
Had lines in looking for Mr. Tuna at 4:30am when while looking aft to observe our spread my fishing partner noted a flare in the sky. I looked and saw a parachute flare descending about 2-3 miles behind us. I called the Coast Guard and after 2 minutes of looking at all the bait around me, we pulled up all 6 rods and headed at a heading of 300 deg. for about 4 miles. The whole time I was conversation with CG Boston. After 3 miles there was light so I scanned the area with binoculars and headed back to fishing. Had lines back in by 0530 on a great morning. The CG sent out a cutter and called me when they got there. I started to wonder if I should of called them... I am 100% positive I saw a flare and hope it was only a hoax and nobody was in distress.
We dragged our spread into breaking 50-80 lb fish 3 times without a hit. I had 5 spreader all running clean with no luck. I also tried throwing a jig into them.
