What an incredible week of fishing..we had a real good cold snap where it blew hard from the north at 20-30 knots...then the calm which lasted 6 days..we were able to get out and put a hurting on the fish too..the pictures tell the story...On Sunday I had Guy Halberg and friends and we went looking for wahoo..could only find a few blackfin picking up 6 for the effort..Capt. Sonny went long to the floaters and picked up three 60-80 pound yellowfins...Monday I had my good friends John Hunsucker, Jack Dulkaney and Clay for an overnight trip to the far east..made it to the platform and put a hurting on the bull dolphin..the same place I left them 3 weeks ago..the boys put 8 bulls from 46-20 pounds in the boat using live bait..we also picked up an 80 pound yellowfin..then they let me break out my 10 wt fly rod where I was able to boat 2 small yellowfins and a 20 pound bull dolphin..when night fell we were out of live bait dso we jigged up a couple dozen blackfin and chummed..we ended up finishing our 3 man limit by adding another 8 yellowfins from 20-50 pounds before heading home early..Wednesday I had the Baker family and John, Kevin, Quenton for a wahoo and amberjack trip..managed 3-8 wahoo all over 50 pounds and a few jacks..we lost one fish as yours truley forgot to remove the hook protectors from a brand new baot..wonder how many fishes lives have been saved by the a-hole that invented those things. Thursday I had Camp and Barbara Mateuns in for a trip I donated to the CCA..Camp and Barbara liked the idea of wahoo fishing and in 2 hours we had all we needed on 6 strikes..kept 4 large wahoo over 50 pounds before going to look for jacks..couldn't find a one...Thank God because the grouper found us..in another couple hours were were one fish shy of a boat limit..Friday and Saturday the weather came back to get us..we struggled and went 0-1 on wahoo Friday with Clarence Howell and Phil and Mike from St Louis..Saturday we fished in a gale at the rocks with Chuck Hendrin and family..managed to release about 20 bull reds before it got too nasty..Plenty of great days ahead!
