02/06/2011 Offshore Fishing Report

After a month long delay Doug and I made up for it in a big way. Sailfish #7 is hooked and landed by 11am! Using the infamous "Always and Forever" Golden Rod, Doug let out a blue runner while slow trolling and it was hit within seconds. Brings more evidence that Sails are attracted to boats and keep the baits close to the boat! Other than the sail, we had a boniton, remora, blue runners and still no luck catching bait as its getting harder and harder to come by. Tried shark fishing with the large amount of sharks earlier in the week but no luck!
