Thanks to crew and club.
Headed out Friday night. Got talked into going West to the rigs. Ended up fishing Marlin and Horn in the morning. Horn was LOADED with nice tuna. We had 6 small ones on at once. Chinese fire drill, but Marlana managed to land 4. "Donnie D" was there, (thanks John) and we both tried to catch a billfish that was feeding on the tuna to no avail. (live bait, etc..) There were plenty of big tuna there, but we decided to head back east to billfish.
Water looked horrible until we got back further north. Ended up catching some nice fish Sunday at the nipple.
Saw a whale shark at Horn, and a beautiful swordfish (100#) sunning itself at the nipple. The swordie would not hit our trolled baits, so Marlana casted a bait to it. It started to eat the bait, but got spooked and headed for the deep. Amazing deep purple color, only a few feet from the boat. This was the second "sunning sword" we have seen this year during the day...very cool.
As always..impressed by my crew and my wife. Thanks for rigging the balyhoo Marlana!!!
Good luck to everyone fishing this weekend. I know we will see some great reports!! The fish are out there if you look hard enough!
