Decked for Eddie again today. The goal for today was to get some wahoo. The first rig produced nothing but the second one was on giving up some nice fish. The first one in was a good wahoo.



We made another pass and a double. This one came in with what would be the biggest amberjack of the day.



As we kept picking we got a hog on and brought it it the gaff.



We managed to put 8 in the boat. Lost a few and even released one unharmed because we had enough in the box including this big boy.




By 2 in the afternoon the fog was getting thicker and we were still 14 miles from shore and about 35 miles from the marina At the mouth of the river with the sun out we still had ZERO visability.




We had a limit of amberjack to 45 pounds and 8 wahoo with the biggest being 84 pounds along with 2 blackfin tuna and one scamp grouper. We lost 2 blackfin we saw, 3 amberjack and around 8 wahoo. We caught one wahoo on a jig and lost at least 1 other on jigs.





Lately we have been lucky. Once again we had bragging rights at the dock. Running again tomorrow with the same group. We set a high standard. Hope we do not let them down. Tuna will be the order for tomorrow. Dense fog again. It is so foggy they may close down the river traffic soon. For those that have been here I can't see past the back of the swimming pool.

Life is Good!

Awesome Hoop. Living it up in waterworld. I have seen the fog down there, and I am sure in small proportions, pretty wild. How is the "marina cat" doing ? Hope you are enjoying yourself and I hope to get back down soon. Thanks for the report..
