On
Wednesday we went out with a steady 25 knot wind. We went to
the bait patch where mom and dad and the 2 boys were sick.
Grandpa asked if I could take them back and drop them off so we did. Then
Grandpa and Grandma - Christy and Cal headed out with me and first mate Haden.
We trolled out to the hump, 12 miles offshore in 4 to 8 foot seas. We found a
war bird on the deck and caught a schooly dolphin under him. At that point we
were close to the hump so we put the tuna feathers out. Two minutes later a
25 pound bull dolphin jumped on one. Well I have to tell you it was quite
a fight in those seas with such light tackle and after 15 minutes we pulled the
hook. It was just not his day to die. When we got to the hump the small black
fin tuna were biting very good. After taking 15 of those we headed to look for
some dolphin when we found a pallet floating with dolphin and wahoo. My
customers did great fishing in these seas. After playing with that we went and
caught a 50 pound amberjack and headed home. That’s what we call
a victory at sea kind of day.
