well done larry
We fished alongside the Skipjack on my good friend Jon's boat Tunanut. No love from the yellowfin but the albies were willing to coorperate along the southwest wall of the canyon. Ended up bringing home 8 and missing a handful of others along with a mess of various sized mahis. Larry, we could hear you hailing us but you weren't hearing us hail you back. Some sort of a radio issue but didn't want you to think we were ignoring you! Jon just got a new VHF so we may need to get the connection looked at as we should have had range to get you 15 miles north of our position...
It was nice not being on my boat! I got to sleep on the bean bag for half the ride back! I'm not used to that, it was nice. thanks to Jon, GW, and Jeff for a great trip.
A couple longfins...
Nice work as always Keith, here's to hoping we get another shot at the edge before the season ends![]()
Did either of you fish the 75 degree water North of Atlantis? Or were you at (or over) the edge? I'm wondering if that water would hold fish.....

Now that is funny, very funny actually
we caught many weeds in Atlantis; we saw even more and even hooked a few but by and large it was fishable albeit with not that many fish.
The water there was 72 to 74 degrees.
the water above the canyon was 73.6 degrees and broke to 69.6 in perhaps 1/2 mile. Dead, no real line and no life - we put in an honest 2 hr effort there for a few 3 pound mahi.
We fished the edge, 100-120 fathom line, southwest of the tip by 3-4 miles. And yes, it was weedy, but mostly just east of the canyon. To the west there were weeds here and there but it was pretty fishable.
I know Jon fished the water up on the shelf Saturday and had two yellowfin and Danny fished up there Saturday also and missed a wahoo so i'm sure theres a few fish to the north but we chased Danny's report of fish on the edge and ran all the way down. It wasn't lights out by any means but it was good. I'm sure there was a marlin in that weedline that Larry mentioned, with so many small mahi mixed in there had to be a blue down below looking to eat. We didn't fine her.
