Trolling along the north wall just yards from shore when the small wahoo pictured took the line. After a short fight we circled back and caught his big brother.

When it comes to fishing, we all know that being in the right place at the right time makes all the difference. Our trip was initially set for a 7am departure but after reviewing the tide we contacted our guest to suggest 8am instead - the tide was later in the morning and this would give us more time fishing when the bite is on. The first 2 hours of the morning was slow with only a couple of small blackfin tuna and a baracuda. Then almost as predicted the Yo-zuri Bonita on the wire line was slammed by a 25lb wahoo. A few minutes later he was attached to the end of that aftco gaff and in the boat. Wahoo onboard and excitment in the air, we put the lines back out and made a few more passes in the same area. 3rd time was the charm - we doubled up on Dolphin (mahi mahi) to end the trip!

The weather was good, the boat was fueled and ready, why not go fishing right? We were trolling along in about 750ft of water when this beautiful female cow dolphin rushed in behind the boat to investigate the spread. Although seemingly interested, nothing quite tickled her fancy as she didn’t strike any of the baits we had in the water at time. Not to be deterred, we quick threw some chum in the water to keep her interested while we baited a naked squid on the spinner. Simultaneously we had slowed the boat and started to retrieve 2 of the surface lines so we could chase this dolphin without fear of tangling lines. We threw the squid in the water and skipped it at slow speed. 5 minutes after sighting this fish, we were hooked up - FISH ON!
