Put lines in at 7:15 in 300ft. Within 15 min had the WWB screaming and after a lot of reeling boated a nice wahoo. Thought we were in fir an epic day…Wrong. Trolled several hours with nothing. Several boats working scattered weeds in 450 but nothing for us there. Trolled out to 800 ft and then back in to 140 ft. Hooked a small blue that made one big backward somersault that had the intended effect and w second rise to the teaser. Got one decent dolphin and a slinger in 250ft and a couple of cudas. Slow fishing resulted in a first for the Fortunate Son, in that we not only had to break into the emergency case but also finished it. Stopped off on the way in for some bottom meat. Ocean was nice all day.
I’m not sure what you’re complaining about. Looks like a nice box O’ fish. Plus the emergency case thing. Good idea being prepared like that.
Thankis for the report
Out by Edisto banks in the AM ( 200-300 ft), boats on 68 generally reporting 0-1 Mahi each. One with 4 but later in afternoon.
Best weedline was at 70’ on way in.
Visitors spent an hour fighting on a tuna rod and saltist 40 an unseen critter that took squid in 140 feet. Could see the critter on Fish finder but they never got it closer than 35’ and it dove again. Finally broke the 40# mono. Looked big on sonar! Much bigger fight than the 6’ sharks I’ve hooked there before.
Picked up the usual Beeliners, triggers, porgy, BSB on way home.
Northwest wind and waves layer down a bit by 330 so ran back at 35+
Guest left a GO PRO on the dock at Ripley Light at 0400. Would love a Good Samaritan to turn it into the office.
