We gave it another shot today and failed to find the bite. No birds, no dolphins, very little bait and precious few strikes. We picked up a 25-30lb Spaniard fairly early, no pics cause it wasn’t my fish and he didn’t care to have a picture taken but it looked a lot like the one in the post above this one.
At 8:30 my little man got the next strike which happened to be his first wahoo.
Then we went 0 for 6 on the billfish. Five marlin and a sailfish, failed to properly hook all of them and didn’t land any of them.
We got two mahi around the 10lb range and then just as we were clearing the gear to run home the long rigger fired. I was standing next to it but thought it was the shotgun. I looked at Rosie and he indicated the rod beside me and when I looked down Nolan was already there and engaging the fish so he brought that one to the boat too which happened to be his second wahoo.
All told it was a bloody slow day of fishing with nice weather and good company. The sashimi wasn’t to shabby either.
