Friday Mahi - Current Adventure Charters

Had a full day offshore charter with Rob and John today. The goal for today was to find some Dolphin. Left the docks and proceeded to head offshore to look for a temperature break and hopefully a good weed line.

Well, the weatherman got it wrong again and instead of light and variable, we found a steady 10kt wind out of the NE. After getting about 18 miles offshore, I decided to put lines in and to continue offshore at a slower pace with baits in the water.

The bite was slow, only catching a Barracuda and a juvenile Cobia on the way out. However, the ocean appeared to be laying down as we went. After several hours of trolling we finally reached my original destination and things started to pick up. A big Dolphin came crashing into the baits, but no hook-up. Lines back out and then John got hooked up with a nice cow. Next Rob was hooked up on a little cow. Hooked a nice bull after hitting three baits, but he made one last jump and threw the hook.

Ended up with four Dolphin and King Mackerel. Had a lot of short strikes that resulted in missed fish. Had a squid rigged up with green skirt in front of it that produced a lot of strikes. The big disappointment of the day was having a Sailfish come up on the short line and play with the ballyhoo. He made four or five attempts at the bait, but I just could not get him to bite.

Oh well, there's always the one that got away.

Water temps were from 78-82.
