Gabriel and a couple of his friends joined us today on the L&H. The fishing had been good lately so I was excited about our chances. After getting bait we ran offshore and almost immediately found a big flock of birds with feeding tuna underneath. On the very first pass we hooked six tuna! James, Travis, Jimmy, and our three anglers battled the fish as I happily watched from the tower. For most of the morning we stayed with the school and continued getting multiple hook ups. After landing nearly two dozen of the hard fighting tuna, our team was ready for a break. Time to try something else. As we pushed farther offshore, I came across a weedline that was running east and west. A little while later James and I spotted two big dolphin swimming down the line. Felicia got the biggest dolphin and decided to have a trophy made of her catch. Everyone onboard was really excited about how much action we were having and it was about to get much better! Not much further down the line, I spotted a few more nice dolphin and as we worked on those, I saw the big tree branch that the fish were on. When I got closer to the branch, more and more dolphin were showing up. Soon there were fish all over and our team was having a field day. With three really good mates and three very eager anglers the L&H caught the limit of sixty mahi in short order. The fish were coming over the sides like crazy and it seemed like we couldn't lose any. It was just one of those days when everything seemed to go our way! After we were done with the mahi, the team got a few wahoo and we decided to head back early! It was a great day with great weather and great fishing.
