Fishing is still a bit slow. Even the local commercial fisherman are being hit by the slow fishing. Still, not complaining. Two trips ago, we missed all of the tide changes and didn’t land any fish. We did have a big Sailfish on briefly.
Today was a different result, though. The tide change was at about 8 am. We were out there and ready in time to run into a school of Yellow Fin Tuna. We managed a triple but that was short lived as one fish wrapped another ones line and burned it off before using that newly created slack to shake the hook. Still, we landed one 23 lb Tuna. Of course, great cameraman that I am, I completely forgot to take pictures of the tuna and of the Dorado (18lbs) that we landed about 20 minutes later. Later in the day we hooked up and released a nice sailfish. Maybe 90 lbs. I’ll post the pictures as they are. Obviously I am not quite in the groove as far as the picture taking. Still, overall we are catching more fish than most all of the boats and doing so in short 4 to 5 hour trips thanks to Tom’s experience. Fishing gear worth noting – Williamson Coyotes (Black/Red and Black/Purple) are the hot colors. See below for my lame pictures. Laughing is allowed.
Umm, Oops. Missed the shot Completely...
There is a sailfish under the Williamson Coyote lure... Really...
One more shot of the lure. Still missing the fish....
