Fished 6 trips last week and 3 of them were full day trips. We spent those 3 around the 23 mile ledges. Thursday had a good trip with 5 Mahi, turned 2 Sailfish loose and some cudas and bonitas. The best fishing was on the offshore side of the 23 mile ledges (the 180's). The water was cleaner and more bait. Saturday was a wash with the dirty water having moved back in. I worked all the way to the outside ledges (in the 170's) and still dirty water. Ended the day with 3 small Mahi and a bunch of bottom fish. Sunday the SE wind had finally pushed the clean water in, but I was 30 miles off the beach before I really found it. Caught 7 Mahi, missed a sail and had some AJ's and cudas.
Thursdays Trip. My mate Andrew had to take the day off, so I took our "supermate" Jack. My 12 year old son, who has helped out on charters for the last two years. Be glad when he is 15 and I won't have a mate that is ever late again.
