Offshore Sat. 10/14 Wahoo

[Bluewater Lady Charters]

Started off the day with the charter being a little late in the morning. Didn't get to the grounds till 8:45. Found a very small spot of scattered grass in the mid 400's picked up one small hoo and a peanut mahi. Worked the area till 12:00. Blended water 77.5-79 degrees. Not much bait. North winds 15-18 knots. No bites. Did not like the water color or conditions so reeled them in and headed up to the 520 line. Found some good bait marks. Left rigger goes off. Drop it back, King Mack. Circle back nice wahoo airs out and hits the bait. Put him in the boat. Work the area a little more with some biteoffs. All day waiting for the planer rod to go off and bam finally does, 10 seconds later right long and center rigger goes off. Managed the one deep, in the boat, but lost the other 2. Tough day for us. Sea Draggin was in the pit and did a great job.

Nice catch BWLC. Sounds like you were down around where I was friday. I think this cold snap is turning them on. WTG!

Yeah, I couldn't believe the planer rod wasn't more active, but that one "aired out" bite was awesome. Already looking forward to our next trip.

I was really impressed with the Blue Water Lady (a 42' Bertram). It's a battlewagon and real easy to fish.
