Just 8 miles off the coast, the action was already on. The ride out took barely 20 minutes, putting us right into productive waters where trolling immediately paid off. The tide was running strong, but that only seemed to fire things up. Bonitos, bluefin, and yellowfin were biting aggressively, especially on deeper running Rapalas. We mixed it up with poppers and live bait, but the fish clearly wanted the deeper presentations that cut through the current. Fast ride out. Strong tide. Solid bites. Proof that you do not need to go far offshore to have an unforgettable day on the water.
