Default Mahi!

Started pot hopping and the first pots we saw were loaded with very fininky Chicken Mahi but plucked a few. Tried more pots in that area with no luck and decided to steam South to the Monster and trolled down the line while we looked for pots. Water was noticeably cleaner... After trolling 10 miles South, not finding any pots and not a sniff on the troll, we went back up north to where we had pots before and the Chickens were very hungry.

Fun day out on the water with Rich, Joe and Gen and some fish tacos on the menu for tomorrow.

Perseverance pays of Gerry. Trolling 10 miles without a knock down, hard to believe. Good decision heading back to where you found a patch. Enjoy your fish tacos, they make such a great snack / meal.
