This was our view off the deck that walks right down to the boat. [IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q117/homey1110/Fishing2008033.jpg[/IMG] The weather was great and it allowed us to get offshore for some fishing. On this particular day it was a little overcast. [IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q117/homey1110/Fishing2008035.jpg[/IMG] We had a double hook up on Yellowfin landing this 70lb class fish and losing a larger 80-90lb class at the side of the boat when the hook pulled. [IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q117/homey1110/Fishing2008036.jpg[/IMG] We also caught some nice Mahi too.... Some other sites to see in the area is the commercial fleet. This area is located near the boat ramp and some seafood restaurants.

I did see a 24 Outrage Police boat but didn't have my camera.... [IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q117/homey1110/Fishing2008047.jpg[/IMG] Made it offshore again the weather was perfect. Here is Brady with a very nice Cow Mahi, measured 51" [IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q117/homey1110/Fishing2008038.jpg[/IMG] The pit with some quality Mahi. Several were hooked up!!

That was one big Mahi! For anyone wondering about that mullet, that little guy jumped out of the water with such force he hit the piping on the t top above my head and landed on the deck at our feet! That was something you do'nt see every day. Thanks for the great trip, Brady

I'm looking forward to getting back out there, love that blue water. Texas, When we troll out there were pretty much targetting Tuna but anything can hit when your in the Ocean. Most of the fish were caught on rigged Ballyhoo, with a blue and white Islander, skirt. I usually troll 3 - 4 in the spread of 7 - 8 rods...Trolling speeds range from 6.5mph to 7.5mph depending on sea conditions and how the lures are moving through the water. I like them to run slightly beneath the surface and then rise and break the surface causing a slight disturbance or splash. We also drag pink Squid teasers on the port and starboard corners 10' off the stern. I believe his helps raise fish since one came up and bite the last Squid in half. Scott, LOL, I know what you mean about a bloody deck, immediately after the fish are placed in the fishbag its rinsed off with the saltwater washdown hose. It makes quick work of the mess and is a great option...I'm pretty anal too about my boat.

Member Personal Page Posts: 328 Comments: 2 Joined: 05/24/07	great pics again, Mike, and a great trip So the Mahi you caught were also on the trolled ballyhoo? How far offshore did you go this time? All the way to the canyons?

Member Personal Page Project Albums Posts: 233 Comments: 2 Joined: 09/30/06	Dan, Yeah, the Mahi were caught on the Ballyhoo, I think only one hit an artificial. We did go to Poormans canyon (50+ miles) both days, caught the Tuna there but most of the fish were caught at the Hot Dog which is approx 42 miles offshore.
