Still Think'n Tuna, Mahi and Marlin
spread ot again and right short pops and Casey is on the rod....we coach her a bit to teach her how to fight a fish, which she picked up right away and brings in a pretty large False Albacore.....lines out again and the planer pops....Otter on this one and turns out to be a lit up Skippy which will become bait for later in the day.... we drilled the spot for another hour or so and decide to head off to the deep where reports of large weed beds with Mahi are at.....get to about 500 fathoms at the 401 line and find a couple of boats working some pretty big weed beds...these are loaded with triggers, buoy jacks and all the Mahi you could want...out comes the skipjack and in goes the spinning gear.....kept about 15 for the dinner table and caught and released as many more .... back up on the troll and immediately get lazered by a Wahoo on pink and white G&H sea witch...damn...work this area for a bit but it's pretty weeded up so we start trolling inshore a bit....lots of rips, sulpher lines and weed lines with water temps from 72 - 75 degrees..... catch a couple more Gaffers when the right Tiki Bar with G&H sea witch trailing gets hit....I see the fish take the bait and know it's a Marlin, just not sure if it's a white or a blue yet...Otter's on the rod in case it's a Blue one but when he jumps we see it's a white....so off the rod goes to Dave Wessner as he hadn't had a white one yet and we needed to throw somebody in the creek when we get back......good fight and just incredible Video at the side of the boat with multiple jumps that we should be able to put up soon...just a beautiful big white, probably 70 plus pounds...this happened at the 386 in about 150 fathoms...water temps 74.9 and pretty blue water..... troll a bit more and get a triple header Gaffers to end the day......gorgeous ride in to a ominous sky on the beach with some pretty wicked Thunderstorms building ot west.... get to Fisherman's Wharf where Mr. Wessner hits the drink...and then get Still Think'n back on the trailer before the bad stuff hits......Great day on the water with great people...can't wait to do it again........ I have a video link from youtube, I'm not smart on editing so it's pretty much raw....great boatside aerial display from the white though....Bob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62nuB3jm_PM |
