We left the dock at 4 am. It was a slow ride out but we had lines in the water at 7 am just past the Edisto Banks. The first hook up only took a few minutes. Then it got crazy. Two nice sails slammed our baits at the same time. We lost one but we landed the other one. By 10:30am we had a full box of Mahi and all fish were caught in 200 - 260 ft of water. There were no temp breaks or rips to be found anywhere. We were just dead water trolling. We also nailed a 25-30lb King high speed trolling. The ride in was nice at 40+ mph.
Good job. Hard to beat days like that.
Solid on the double sail hook up! I was chatting with mike when he got your text yesterday as you cleared the jetties. We were both green with jealously!
Yea, it was an awesome day. I had a great crew on board too. I will remember this one for a while. I have been “snake bitten” on fighting a sail for a quite some time. It was a big relief to finally pull the hook, revive him and watch him swim off. I just hope that someone else will get to experience the fight with again one day.
