Went out today with my Buddy Captain Billy Steadman of offshorefabrications.com on his BEAUTIFUL 38 Fountain. Had his wife Linda and my buddy Jesse and I. Broke the inlet early to a nice ocean and headed to the blue water. Got to our target with lots of life around, but no fishies.
So we sent out the spread for a bit and got nothing. Looked around and jigged and tossed some baits on a few marks and nothing. No scallop boats either.
We started a nice chum slick and just before we fired up the motors, some mahi showed up. All 4 of us hooked up instantly to some decent little ones. Billy set me up with a chunk of salmon and handed me the rod and I pitched it in. Not 2 seconds later, a bull inhales it. It was great.
Found a scallop boat just inshore of us with a very nice slick going. Only saw one bft hooked and boated. We searched around for a bit stopping on bait, whales and dolphins. And again, nothing. So we packed it in.
It was a nice day out there and we had a great time going 5 for 5 on mahi to 17lbs.
