Got to the dock at 4am to see the light show in the sky, and decided to we needed to stay at the dock until the storm had cleared. We took a trip to the waffle house for an all star breakfast. Radar looked like thing would clear up around 7, so thats when we shoved off. Put the lines in just north of the 226 at 945 and decided to troll out deep. Boated three phins in the first hour then things slowed down. Found a scattered weedline on a temp break that kept us extremely busy. Final decided to only troll 6 lines and started searching for a clean edge.
Finally found the clean edge and three degree temp break, 72-75, a few miles offshore and north of the 226. Constant action for the next 2 1/2 hours. Went through 6 packs of bait. Boated around 30 dolphin (6 gaffers, 7 slingers) we kept 20 and threw the rest back. Made it back to the dock at 7. Had a rookie crew so I am exhausted today.Hope to get back out there soon
That’s a great report, it’s nice to hear that the dolphins are out there, hope I can be out there soon. What where you trolling with if you don’t mind me asking. I usually use ballyhoo on sea witches.

Ballyhoo on anything. It didn’t seem to matter what was out there they were biting as fast as I could keep the hooks baited. We had a lot of short strikes due to the size of the fish that were out there. We only caught one fish that was 25 lbs. The other gaffers were teenagers. I hope that some bigger fish start to move in.

Nice report, but the math confused me a little

If you take 6 gaffers and 7 slingers and subtract them from 30 you get 17 peanuts or small fish. I hope this clears up the math problem. I thought that was pretty self explanatory when I said we ran into a lot of small fish.

Never expect too much from people.
