Bound and determined to catch us a wahoo, we changed tactics a bit. Pretty slow day. Only managed 9 dolphin, 1 wahoo, and took a trip through amberjack hell. I’m going to have nightmares about those things. They were so horrible. I had a bait dangling in the water next to the engine cowling while fighting some off and I am pretty sure that the AJ actually ran into the engine to grab the bait only to have to land that one too. Whoever decided that there should be a one per person limit on those things needs to get on the water sometime.
If we could just get the name “bronzefin tuna” to catch on, we would have had a stellar day…

I like this. A lot.
It might be time for a AJ remarketing thread for some new names for them.

Haha! I am sick of catching dolphin myself…don’t think I’ll be targeting them anymore this year.

I caught enough ajs bottom fishing on the ledge sunday to last a lifetime. In my opinion they suck for eating and I can find quality fish whose fight I find much better and more intense… personally I wish they would just disappear!!! Your trolling trip yielded more meat then mine did saturday, Nicely done on your ten fish in the box:smiley:
That’s how you know it’s been a good bite for dolphin this year. Not even June and people are sick of catching them. As far as AJs go I can’t think of many fish that fight better than they do??? But yes they can be a nusciance
