After the trip on Monday, it was offshore again on Tuesday with John Keikth and his wive Elyse. The day was quite different and was almost slick calm. I started off a few miles inshore of where we had the fish on Monday and within 15 minutes had a double header YFT. Ww boated 1 and I released one , though not on purpose, at the boat we continued to troll and the day was very slow. I watched Capt John catch a couple tuna and he mentioned that he had a couple of shota at wahoo so I put a wire rigged hoo down deep on a z wing and kept on. and then we had another tuna climb on. O.K., 2 in the boat and a small dolphin. Not great but sure beats a sharp stick in the eye. We worked the Monday hot spot--- nada. I decided to move inshore a bit and we saw some skippies breaking and some Yellowfin as well. I swung in and the wwb bird took off and as I started to clear rods, the deep line took off. Now, if you have ever seen a wahoo go on that 1st run, you will never make a mistake knowing when another eats. hie line ripped off and I yelled, WAHOO! We caught the tuna and that pretty blue tiger striped fellow got close enough for Bob to stick a gaff in.


We ended up 3 for 5 on tuna, though no monsters like the day before, 1 dolphin, and the Hoo.

John and Elyse had a great time and the day was absolutely beautiful. I was really glad to get a little nap on the way home with Capt. Bob at the helm. I can't wait till Friday when we go again.
