08/29/2009 Offshore Fishing Report

Got out on the water around sunrise this morning and started the day trolling for wahoo and tuna. No luck with the wahoo but did catch 2 nice size blackfin. With the bite slowing down, we decided to try our luck bottom fishing. Reelsgood boated a nice 5lb mutton snapper and released a king. He had another king to the boat that broke through the leader. As usual, a couple bonito were also on the list of catches. With a few nice fish in the cooler and the heat getting to everyone, we headed back the launch around noon. Big thanks to Reelsgood and Calabrese for the morning entertainment after they decided to pull an all-nighter!
