5/7/2011- mahi and sea bass

well, pirate's life charters fished for the first time for the 2011 season. we had our first fish of the season-a nice gaffer mahi- in the boat within 20 minutes of putting our lines out. unfortunately the weather man missed the forecast and we decided to head in and see if we couldn't find anything on the bottom. upon finding some structure at our first stop, we decided to drop down and see what was down there. it didn't take long before we found out that we had discovered a cache of "endangered' black sea bass. we made several drops and pulled up several nice sea bass each time, but had to release them as the season is currently closed. the current was screaming and the seas continued to build, so we headed for the dock. not the best day fishing, but it was nice being out there after a long winter off!
