Wahoo in the Stream September 12, 2011

It’s been a long, stormy & hot summer with few opportunities for me to fish .  That changed yesterday.  I was able to go on a Gulf Stream on Taylor’s boat, which we lovingly call the "Beast".  We headed out about 5am with high hopes. 

With fair seas and  catches of wahoo & mahi we weren’t disappointed.  We had an awesome day of cathcing and relaxing!

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!
