Fished the PlayMaker last Friday after a few
trips assisting other captains on larger
vessels. Started in 32 Fathoms NW of the 40
Fathom Fingers. Water looked good with a
nice 3 degree break on the 30 line. Troll a
few hours in 35 Fathoms without a touch.
Started to troll SE towards the 40 Fathom
Fingers and BAM! Our biggest Mahi of the
season starts jumping out of the water,
thankfully with a skirted ballyhoo in his
mouth. "Window Maker Gary" boated the fish
estimated at 25lbs. and then we continued
trolling towards the fingers. Long story
short, fished the fingers out to the Spencer
where the water jumped another 3 degrees.
Worked the Spencer for a while and back into
the 50 line before claiming our first Tuna
SKUNK of the season. All in all we all still
enjoyed the day and was glad to see a nice
bull dolphin in the box. Will try again this
Sunday weather permitting!!
The Wahoo bite has been red hot on the 30
Fathom line. We caught this on two weeks
ago on the Tiburon.
