Shared Delusion

 

We went straight to Grouper Country with lots of sardines. Fishing was a little lighter than normal but we limited out on grouper

While dropping to the bottom, I saw a flash of yellow coming to the boat. It was a school of small mahi mahi !! One of our target fish! We caught 3 of them - what a beautiful fish!

Happy fishing,

Terry and Robert tried to locate he Wreck called the Mexican Pride but could not find it. They tried Grouper Country but no action. On the way back they came across a chunk of floating boat hull. They caught 5 Mahi under it!! Since that was one of my target fish - We went out sunday to try to find them.

We went to Grouper Country and caught 6 keeper Red grouper - Our limit!!! We have never limited out before!! The bite was not as constant but it was larger fish.

And then it happened….

In the distance (well 30 feet or so) I saw a school of something approach.

It was a school of mahi!! After 2 minuts of freaking out and panic / excitement We got a line inthe water and I caught my first Mahi - a huge 12″ long fish!! I was very estatic even though it was tiny.

The Mahi in the water were amazing - they start as blue with yellow tails and can change color from yellows to green with spots and they flair thier colorful fins. Very agressive too and they hang right around the boat!!

My only two target fish left (does the 12″ mahi really count thou??) are Little tunny and tuna

Happy fishing,

First day we saw huge swells - not to bad but they were big. We went to the Betty Rose and some people where trolling for mackerel. We saw many schools of little tunny. We caught some stingrays but not much action. Another boat landed a huge Goliath Grouper.

Happy fishing,
