Albies and Mahi

Ryan, Jay, Patty, Luc, and I headed out to catch some mahi yesterday. We caught two mahi and we lost a few more bigger fish. We also caught a few nice sized allbies. Pro Tip: When trolling, keep your baits in the clean water in the wake. Baits in the white water are hidden from the fish's view.

Fluke

Fished with Patrick and Kirsten in the bay on Wednesday. We had a fun day catching short fluke, lots of sea bass, and some sea robins. A fun day in the bay. Pro Tip: Action is key to getting kids hooked on fishing. Forget about keepers, focus on numbers.

Mahi

Fished with Peter and friends for mahi in the ocean last Monday. We caught two mahi and jumped off a third. Pro Tip: Do not pull back on fish when they jump. It is a sure way to break them off.

Mahi on the Fly

Fished with Tom, John, and Zach on Sunday for mahi. We caught a few on the troll and then switched over to the fly rod. We hooked two mahi on the fly and landed one. Pro Tip: Using live bait to chum greatly increases your odds on the fly rod. Remember to keep the fly moving at all times.

Inshore Mahi

Fished with Jason and family last Saturday for mahi. We had another great day landing several mahi on the troll. It's been a great summer! Pro Tip: Trolling down sea usually presents the best spread to the fish.

Flyrod Stripers

Fished with Chase and Jim in the bay for stripers on the fly. We had a good tide and had several bites. We only got one to the boat but it was a very pleasant evening. Pro Tip: Keep a straight line connection from your fly rod to your fly when you retrieve the fly. Any slack will ruin the action of the fly.

More Mahi

Fished with Dan and friends last Friday in the ocean for mahi. We had a great morning and caught several mahi to around fifteen pounds. The bite has been hot. Pro Tip: Keep the boat in gear while attempting to gaff fish. The forward momentum keeps the fish lined up for the gaff shot.
