We started at 7a.m the rain had just stopped. We were outside the lagoon. Not far out we spoted a school of skipjacks. We hooked 2 and caught one that we used as live bait. Unfortunately about an hour later the skipjack died. We went back with artificial lures. We went through 9 to 10 schools of doradoes...the fish did not want to bit . We managed to get 3 strikes and caught 2 of them. The doradoes were 19 and 21 pounds
