Default What a day! Mahi, Bonito, Fluke & More

My neighbor invited me and said we might try to troll up some Mahi and then go fluke fishing on his bigger boat. So I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Met him for breakfast at the cottage in PPB then off to the boat.

Little did I know we stopped 6 miles out of the inlet and started trolling. Had a couple of small knock downs, landed a small mahi (I mean small) and let him go followed by a bonito that we ate as we cleaned the boat.

The hit the fluke grounds for the BEST FLUKING I have seen this year. Dropped down first time and hit him on the head. Keeper #1 in the boat. We made 4 drifts and had 9 keepers. I had my limit to 25 inches, 1 sundial and countless shorts.

My neighbor even kept a skate and cut the wings.




Tight lines and be safe.
