04/09/2010 Offshore Fishing Report

Hit the seas at 7am after a bad start to my morning. I will always remember the plug from now on though i can guarantee that!! After having the lines in for a half hour the free line starts screaming and the mahi starts jumping. After a short battle, Luke lands the 33 incher for his first Dolphin! Then Luke the Sea Warrior begins to feel a little sea sick so we head to Peanut to get his sea legs back under him. Bound and determined we head back out and trolled in 30-80' of water for some mackerel. We had a King hit a Ratlin Trap and spanish macks hit a Rapala Dolphin plug and Yozuri Crystal Minnow. With 4 fish in the cooler we head in to cook up our catch. Water was much clearer after a few days with Southeast wind and water temps are rising quickly. Winds were out of the south/southwest and picked up as the day went on. Slightly overcast conditions with temps in the mid 80's.
