Fished the boss and some of his friends on Thursday. Started on the 300 line in 130 feet in an area of scattered weed with some decent patches in there. Caught two dolphin and pulled one more off. It was very difficult to see where the weed was with the cloud cover and early morning light which made fishing the area a challenge. After about an hour and a half we trolled straight offshore to the outcroup and worked the ledge in that area for a few hours. We caught two more dolphin, a king, a bonita, pulled off a wahoo about 20 yards behind the boat and pulled the hook on another dolphin. At around noon not much to show for our efforts and not much encouraging news from anybody that was offshore of me neither north or south. I decided to run back in to 130 feet where we started to see if the weed we were fishing in the morning had formed up any. It really hadn’t formed up any better, but we managed to catch two more dolphin and pulled off another one. We had to get one of our guys back to the dock by 3:00 to catch a flight, but I felt like we could have maybe caught a few more dolphin from the area we finished in which was on the 315 line in 130 feet. Final tally for the day was 6 dolphin, a king, a bonita and too many missed fish for a day where every fish counted.
