It was a milestone last year when I bagged my first mahi. However, I am over that now. I was unable to get offshore for a long while and decided to go this weekend. For this trip, mahi were trash fish and I wanted something more exotic. Mother Nature cooperated with water temps in the low 80s.
Saturday: It was the "red sky at morn" thing but I took the TARDIS out anyway (actually it could have been orange). On top of that, the winds were blowing from the east and I was reminded of Psalms 48:7 ("Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind"). In spite of these omens, I was offshore by mid-morning. I wasn't trolling 10 minutes before the drag screamed and I bagged my first ever wahoo. However, after this a rain storm was approaching. I actually fished around it and picked up a false albacore. The wahoo fell to Black Bart's Pelagiac Breakfast. The false albacore to mini-1656 slant head.
Sunday: Radar didn't look good on the weather channel but what it showed were very isolated rain storms offshore. I figured I could fish around them again. It actually ended up being a beautiful day unless you were fishing the Big Rock where it appeared there was some rain. Wasn't a very good day of fishing, however. One barracuda above the Yancey and two false albacore closer to the 14. The cuda came on Black Bart's Rum Cay Candy. The first false albacore on a Moldcraft Wide Range and the second on the 1656 again. Both false albacore were caught off of the short, flat line.
The cuda and the false albacore were all released.
Made 30 knots back on Sunday. Did NOT make 30 knots back on Saturday. Yes, that east wind CAN destroy ships.
