for once the weatherman got the forecast right and it was a beautiful day. once we got the lines out, it didn't take too long before we got our first hit, followed in rapid succession by numbers two, three and four. with only two people in the boat, we found ourselves with fish on four rods. one came off pretty quickly, so we were down to three now. we stuck the gaff in one and then another, and lost the third at the boat. we had two skipjack tuna lying on deck. re-set the lines and work the area a little more, but nothing, so we continued south. shortly thereafter two lines get hit, but we managed to lose both of those. we are now just two for six. re-set again and we are bit again, but this time only on one rod. we managed to lose this fish right at the boat as well. we managed to land one more skipjack before we decided to go find some better water. unfortunately we could never find the good water nor the mahi, but we had a good day anyway, and some fresh tuna for fish tacos!
