Capt. Jim Mahoney Fishing report

We departed the berth at 0430 hours and as we were transiting the Indian River Inlet a school of Blues was found to be lathered up and breaking the surface of the water much to our anglers delight. The hard fighting Blue fish were hooked up on the old reliable Hopkins Spoons. The fishing vessel Blue Collar Man continued offshore on Saturday, August 7,2010 with the Meyers family aboard. Winds were out of the NE at 10 to 15 knots, seas were 2 to 4 feet and the water temperature when life was found was 76 degrees. While trolling the Hot Dog 3 (three) Mahi Mahi were hooked up on trolled Ballyhoo and flat line daisy chains. A short while later a Bonito chose to bite on a trolled Ballyhoo with a Seawitch skirt. Several hours later a Bluefin Tuna was caught on a Green Machine that was trolled behind a bird. This proved for an exciting and eventful day. After thoroughly trolling the Hot Dog the crew of the Blue Collar Man headed East to the 30 fathom line where we had a knock down of the WWB which came up short after a large fish shook its head and spit the hook.
