Today we had Mark and his wife, Linda and their sons Matt and Jimmy from Ohio out with us.
On the way out, Mark told Capt. Mark that he wanted fish for the table and would like this to be a trip that the boys would remember forever - no pressure though.
Luckily it was an all day trip and we had plenty of time to do a variety of things. We started out over the reef to make sure we had fish in the box - and caught some nice king mackeral and a bonito. We continued trolling and headed out to deeper water - on the way out, we caught blackfin tuna and a 43" barracuda (nice job Matt).
We headed out to about 700ft of water and continued trolling around looking for something cool - after about an hour with no bites and some long faces, Capt. Mark spotted some birds in the distance. We headed over and just shy of where the birds were, all six lines went off at once - caos. We ended up landing 3 of the 6 dolphin and then Capt. Mark circled back around and the school stayed intact, so Capt. Mark put the boat in neutral and we broke out the spinners and just started catching - one after the next - it was pure caos. After about 45 fish, the guys all decided they had plenty for quite a few meals and so we headed back in.
Well Mark, we succeeded - lots of eating fish and a day the boys will never forget - hope you have a chance to come back - we had a great time fishing with you.
As you can see, the fishing here is awesome - everyday we have alot of the same with some very different mixed in - its always exciting this time of year.
