Well, do I suck or what?! I can't believe I haven't written a report in over two months. Well, here goes the past few weeks and a few highlights.
The past three weeks the offshore fishing has been red hot. Lots of mahi mahi, with a billfish thrown in here and there. We've even caught a few blue marlin in the past few weeks. Each trip offshore has usually had at least a couple of slammer mahi mahi also. I've also added about forty pictures to the different galleries. So if you sent me a picture and you haven't seen it, it should be up now. Sorry for the delay, and thank you everyone for the great pictures. Tarpon season was great this year also. They showed up kinda late, but they showed up hungry. One day that stands out is with a long time friend of mine from high school, Aaron Goetz. He brought down three buddies from North Carolina for a few days of fishing. We mainly tarpon fished, and they weren't disappointed. The trip that stands out was an evening tide trip. We got on anchor about 6:00 in the evening. We put two mullet out and about five minutes later, whammo! Off to the races we went! We had constant action until sundown at about 8:30. We went 6 for 6 on tarpon, and that includes a doubleheader! To get one of the fish we had to put the reel in freespool, go under another boat, and then beat two bull sharks. It was a blast and everyone had some good stories to take back home. Well, I'm offshore tomorrow and the weather is perfect! Until Next Time....
