Saturday,
Not quite the ride out that we wanted but we found a nice backflow in 500-700 foot of water, wound up blisting the Mahi, not much else that day, but we did leave the fish biting. Decided to stop at a new spot on the way back in and caught one of the biggest Pink porgys I have ever seen. Loaded the boat a variety of bottom species, including all the usual suspects.

The biggest fish of the day was landed 2 hours after it was hooked and was
