8/17 nearshore surprise

had a father and daughter today. it was the young lady's first time in a boat in the ocean, and she did well. she did say that she didnt feel great for an hour or so, but soon got over it. we tried bottom fishing, but the current was running pretty strong, so we decided to troll. didnt take long before we were hooked up, and this fish was a surprise- a beautiful mahi, less than three miles off the beach. unfortunately he was the only one of his kind around, but we did find lots of bluefish to keep everyone busy.
