Four of us fished near the 226 hole. Very dark on the way out. In between the jetties, we passed and incoming container ship, and did’nt appreciate it’s wake until we were two feet in the air. We were only doing 22kts, but that came to a halt after we crash landed. Everyone OK and no damage to anything thankfully. Boy it’s dark at 430am.
Lines in 725a. One biteoff on way back in first three hours. Then a 25lb dolphin up from the downrigger. (down about 60’ of water) 20 min later 15lb wahoo off the surface outrigger. Go figure!! That was it for the day. A couple more cutoffs. Went in to the black banks and picked up a couple barely keeper black sea bass. Noticed some little tunny working the surface and one of the crew suggests trolling a spoon for them. Sure enough, two little tunny in about 20 min.
Took some pictures of some languising sunfish. (goofy looking things) Saw large leatherback turtle and numerous loggerheads on the way back in.
We started fishing in 74degree water, but didn’t do any good until we trolled back to 250’ water and 71 degree’s.
The fish aren’t here in any numbers, but catching a wahoo made our day. Drank lots of beer and were tired upon our return.
Can’t wait to do it again.
