Gulf Stream Trip - April 14, 2012

Sunday, April 15, 2012

I headed offshore to the Swansboro Hole area yesterday with my friend Taylor on his boat and with Mike W. and Jonas. The weather was awesome! We pulled ballyhoos and some lures trolling for Wahoo, Tuna and mahi. Catching was slow but we did manage to boat a tuna.

That was caught on a Super Star Rig (Blue Water Candy) in blue & white with a medium ballyhoo rigged on it. That same rig was hit two other times as well.
