HOT DAY FISHING REPORT

[WAHOONBOX]

BY HOT I MEAN IT WAS A 3 TEE SHIRT DAY FOR ME.....MAHI BLOOD SWATHED THE MARK RAY ARTWORK ON THE FIRST ONE....THEN THE 2ND ONE SUCCOMBED FROM MID DAY SWEAT AND A NASTY WAHOO SWIPE....THE 3RD TEE WAS DONNED FOR A COMFORTABLE RIDE HOME.....THE SUN WAS ON FIRE YESTERDAY....LITERALLY

AND IT TWAS A RELAXING DAY FOR ME DESPITE A SLOW BITE....LIGHT WINDS....THE RUN-OFF SOMETIMES CRUISING THROUGH A LOW MAINTENANCE WATER SPOUT THAT WOULD REFRESHINGLY COOL US OFF WITH A QUICK 25 KNOT TWIRL

THE BITE FOR US WAS A BIT "PICKY" AND THE DARN THINGS ARE GETTING SMARTER HAVING BEEN HAMMERED HARD FOR THE LAST 5 WEEKS.....AND AS ALWAYS...THE MAHIS WERE RESIDENT TO DA SARGASSUM THIS DAY.....THAT'S WHERE THEY LIVE SO THAT'S WHERE WE FISH....

7 LINES...ALL NAKED BALLYHOO THAT ARE MONELED TIGHT TO PREVENT QUICK THEFT...3/8 OZ EGG 100 LB LEADER.....WE HAVEN'T USED A SEA WITCH OR EVEN AN ILANDER IN OVER 5 WEEKS

SOME ASK ME "WHY NOT PULL THOSE "WEINEES" OR STRIPS FOR THE MAHI?"....I WILL TELL YOU WHY....BECAUSE WITH EVERY BAIT WE PUT IN THE WATER WE ARE EXPECTING A WORLD CLASS FISH TO ATTACK SUCH AS EL BOSCOE....AND 5 TIMES THIS SEASON BOSCOE HAS CAME TO THE NAKED HOO WITH AN 8/0 HOOK....AND THAT HAS RESULTED IN 5 HALF MAST RAGS IN MY STARBOARD RIGGER.... I AT LEAST WANT A HALF ASSED CHANCE TO CATCH A BLUE MARLIN SO NO STRIPS FOR US.......AND THAT'S WHY


BUT IN FAIRNESS TO THE WEINNEE & STRIP.....ONE MAY BE FORCED TO GO THIS DIRECTION TO ENTICE A BITE FOR THE SMALLER MAHIS

COMPARED TO OUR PREVIOUS OUTINGS YESTERDAY WAS SLOW..BUT 18 POOR YELLOW SOULS DID HIT THE DOCK WITH ONE WAHOO ADDED TO THE GRILL....I DID A QUICK STICK AND SLING ON HIM YESTERDAY WITH THE HOOK BARELY IN THE CORNER OF THE MOUTH .......PURE LUCK

WE DID NOT BOOK TODAY SO I WILL BE RE-RIGGING FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS ADVENTURE

IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO MY FIRST TRAVEL WEEK...I LEAVE FOR CAPE MAY JULY 7 FOR A FEW DAYS TO FISH WITH TIM, PAUL, & GLENN ON THE FOOLISH PLEASURE....LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING OLD FRIENDS...AND MEETING NEW ONES

ROCK ON.....

THAT WOULD BE COOL TO KNOW....BUT I AM CLUELESS.

TOMORROW....WE MAY SHIFT TO THE RUN-OFF BAILING TACTIC....WE WILL NOT BE OUTSMARTED BY THE DUMBEST FISH IN THE OCEAN MY OFFSHORE COMPOUND BOW W/SPINNING ROD & 5 FIBERGLASS ARROWS GOES ONBOARD TODAY

I ALSO THINK I WILL STOP BY WALMART AND SEE IF THEY HAVE A JAR OF RED OR YELLOW SALMON EGGS....

I like the way you think. I had never thought about shooting mahi. We shoot gar and carp in the river here and I saw one of your post earlier this year on that. I'm guessing there is nothing illegal about it or that you have to get anything special.?

Salmon eggs is good

Please fill me in on the Salmon eggs!!!

WHEN THE LITTLE BASTARDS GET FINIKY...I MAKE UP 50 OR SO ... 60 LB LEADERS AND TIE ON A SMALL "MOUNTAIN TROUT HOOK"

I ADD THE SALMON EGG TO HOOK....THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HIT EM

WHO CARES...THE HOOK IS NOT RETRIEVABLE AND WHO CARES...I CUT OFF THE SHORT LEADER AND LEAVE THE HOOK....IT IS VERY VERY SMALL....
