Originally posted by a-fish-a-knot-oRolled outta Dewees Monday around 5:20 and had a slow ride out due to the head seas. Lines in at SWBanks by 8 after the hot Aunt Jemimas. Picked up a couple but wasn’t looking too fishy. Decided to troll offshore and south looking for the break. Within an hour found a pretty good weedline and put 24 in the box and released about 10 by 11:15. Sea fix found the line and came in behind us and released a big Blue-congrats! Chad Plott pulled out the fresh cilantro, purple onion,tomatoes and limes and whipped up some fresh mahi cevice. Jeremy broke out the blender and we washed down the apps with some cool frozen margaritas. Pulled offshore and south and trolled to the deep pulling some big lures but never found a stickfish. Came upon a floating cooler and pulled out the spinning gear. Kevin Manwaring and crew caught 11 more, broke off about 15 and released a few more. Chad went back down to the gourmet galley and prepared some pipin’ hot cashew encrusted mahi with a mango chutney! Headed to the ledge and Mr. Wahoo screamed across the spread and cut us off. After one more dolphin and another wahoo cut off, Andy Nelms grilled six filet mignons that he had marinated all day. I broke out a bottle of Dynamite Cab and a bottle of Sterling merlot as we toasted to a great day. Rolled home at 32 knots.
Thursday, I finally took my 6 yr.-old little boy, James, offshore trolling. Chad Plott, his friend, Chris, and Nick Strable joined me and Jeremy around 6 am at the dock. Rolled out at 30 knots and put lines in by 7:45. Picked up Nick Strable’s first fish ever(he had never even caught a bream!) - a 30 pound bull. Trolled a little offshore and my 6 year old caught his first offshore fish on a 50! Ran to 300 feet and picked up a couple- then trolled to the deep to find an edge. Went past the 380 hole and found a line forming up. Caught a bunch and chummed the
Nice work James. Cool glasses. I got to get me a pair.
