Good Fall Dolphin Fishing

We had Silveo Leon aboard the L&H for what would be a great day of fishing!  Silveo was entertaining clients and told us he was happy to try anything as long as his customers were happy at the end of the trip!  After catching bait, our plan was to head to the gulf stream and see what we could find.  Before long, Jim found some birds and we headed that way.  When reaching the birds, there was a bunch of dolphin but all to small to keep.  The L&H headed further offshore and before long came across a nice current edge.  Only a few minutes after riding down the edge, two nice mahi came racing in on our teasers!  Jim got two baits out right away and hooked up both fish!  We now were hooked up to a pair of twenty plus pound dolphin!  I maneuvered the L&H close to the stubborn mahi and Jim made two perfect gaff shots and put the fish in our icy hold!  As soon as I started going again, I saw something busting in the sea weed several hundred yards away.  When we got to the area, there was a nice school of mahi slowly swimming to the south.  Jim did a great job getting the customers in a rhythm  and before long they were all hooking fish as fast as the line went out!  The fish were cooperating and in short order our team had boated thirty keepers!  Everyone was very happy and went in the cabin to refresh in the cold air conditioning!  Knowing that we needed less than twenty fish to reach our limit, I continued down the mahi highway.  Less than a mile away, I spotted another big school of nice sized dolphin and they were hungry!  By now, our team had the drill down and they secured the rest of the fish we needed to get our limit in no time at all!!  All of the guys were happy with our success and were happy to call it a day!  Back at the dock we took a few photos and cut up a bunch of fish for everyone!  It was another great day on the L&H with a happy crew and happy customers!!
