After telling my brother Fred about the three marlin we saw and all the mahi he lined up a charter so we could get back out the very next day. The wind blew twenty-five from the north east again and the bait was very hard to get. Finally we got enough and made the rough wet ride back to the south where we had such great fishing the day before. We had three mates today, Freddie, Wes, and Mike Welter and they would barely be able to keep up. From the time the first bait went over the side it was non stop action. We were seeing a lot of sailfish and the dolphin were relentless. At one point we had three sailfish come up after a dead blue runner on the kite. When I moved to the south and put more baits out five more sailfish came up. After a while the dolphin were so aggressive that kite fishing became impossible and the guys just started casting out spinners. The fish were all nice size, eight to twenty-five pounds. By noon we had sixty dolphin, a bunch of sails, and sea sick customers. The guys begged us to go home so we started slowly making our way back. It was too rough to run, so we rode the tower and just watched as countless dolphin and sailfish tailed by the side of the L&H. It was unbelievable fishing and our trio of mates did awesome and worked great together! I want to thank my brother Freddie for getting us out there, because if it wasn't for him I would have been at the dock!
