Left Wapoo around 530 am with Paul (red) and the two wives, Lines in at the ledge around 800 am, trolled out to 400 ft with no weed lines or rips to be seen. Had some bait (skip jacks) so we were looking for big blue, had a Skip jack hit and rolled him up. The radio traffic was that mahi on the ledge, we trolled back in to the ledge, not much, hit a few trash fish (cuda, reef donkey)on the ledge. Had a friend call us and reported that they had a few big mahi and a sail, so we headed to the 300 ft AO. Liked up with them just in time to take a pic of them bringing in a good sai. (good job and good on them)
