Wahoo in the Stream

Monday, September 12, 2011

  That changed yesterday.  I was able to go on a Gulf Stream on Taylor’s Boat.  We headed out about 5am with high hopes and weren’t disappointed!

The seas were slick and the ride was smooth in Taylor’s Glacier Bay catamaran.  We deployed some high speed lures about 5 miles form our intended destination.  We had a couple of hits, lost one lure to a cut-off but no fish boated. 

Once we got to the Swansboro hole we put out a full spread.  The best action was in the early afternoon.  We boated a mahi and 3 Wahoo with the largest going 29 pounds.  We had two other knock-downs - one that was a reel screamer and lost a black fin tuna at the boat when it headed under the boat and into the prop.

I enjoyed fishing with Taylor and Jonas, very nice day!
