Saltwater Offshore Reports

Late report for 5-6 on the Dawg Dr
Fished out in the deep on some core water offshore of the triple ledge
Worked a longline set for bout an hour with no love so moved a little deeper to 800ft and picked a few gaffer dolphin and had a daymaker bull swim off with a gaff stuck in his head minus a handle oh well :frowning_face:
Stayed out deep on the core edge finishing up with 12 dolphin and a sail i had to feed him 4 times before he came tight also had a blue behind the boat but no bites
We lost more fish than normal but still had fun anyway the dolphins should be wide open by this weekend and its lookin calm A few pics of the sail

Good going on your day but I would probably take down the pictures of the boated billfish.

All billfish to be released may not be removed from the water. Removing the fish can result in fatal damage to the fish for two reasons.
Excess rubbing and drying can result in the loss of the protective slime
coat found on the surface of the fish. Without this protective covering,
the fish becomes susceptible to bacterial infections and parasites.
Additionally, the skeleton of a billfish is designed for the buoyant conditions
of the ocean. Removing the fish from the water, even onto the
gunwale of the boat, causes the skeleton to come under the full strain of
gravity, which can damage the skeleton and internal organs.

If it is a real big one, or if it is someone’s first sail on my boat, the sail will participate in a kodak moment…

BTW, sounds like a fun day with some action!! Good job!!

Give it a rest already! If dan didn’t take pictures, you would say it didn’t happen.

(2) If a billfish is caught by a hook and not retained, the fish must be released by cutting the line near the hook or by using a dehooking device, in either case without removing the fish from the water.

This is the law for what it is worth…

If this is true, then we kept the fish and had Sailfish Sushi! And yes we have the required permits.
