Slow, Slow and mo slow

I wish I could say things are getting better, but they are not. Really slow fishing again today. We caught 1 sail at 7:30 a.m. had one other bite that we missed, saw a few more that never bit and that was our day. We got back in after dark, so it was a long day. Tomorrow I think we will start the morning sail fishing, then go bottom fishing or try something different. Who knows maybe I'll get a really cool picture of something to post.

Poor Fishing

Well I guess if I had more fish I would have more to write about. This is going down as the worst sailfish year ever down here. I think we are a few hundred fish off where we were last year at this time. We caught 1 today. 5 yesterday. I think the most bites anyone had today was 5. Catches ranged from 4 to 0. Boats were spread out from 40miles south of Isla, to us 40 miles north of Isla. Nothing to get excited about. Rough Slow Fishing! I know it sounds bad, but only 2 more weeks. Ill post some pictures tomorrow or something. Have a great weekend.

Monday Report

We had the same group again today. They sure are a fun group to hang out with. In the morning we could not get a sailfish bite to save our lives. We did catch a few barracuda, bonita, king mackerel, cero mackerel, we stopped and bailed dolphins, and at the end of the day we ended up catching 3 sailfish. For those who do not know when i say dolphin I mean Mahi Mahi, or as the locals call them Dorado. Balling them means that we use light tackle to catch a smaller class of dolphin. We did end up catching 10 of them pretty quickly for not being rigged up for it.

Sunday Report

Well Fin has gone home to be with his family, and Rom is down here running the boat now. Today we had Tim, Kenny, Chuck, and Kevin fishing with us. They fish with us every year. There are from Detroit. The sailfishing was kind of slow, we only caught 2, but we did go out in the deep and go bottom fishing. We caught some snowy groupers, tilefish, barrel fish, and these beautiful queen snappers. Everybody had a great time regardless of weather the sails wanted to bite or not.

No Esposa No Pez Vela

Well Kristen had to leave today so I had to say goodbye at 5:30 a.m. Then when I was un-tying the bow I was walking back to the cockpit and my foot slipped on the toe rail and there I go into the drink first thing in the morning. That was the start to my day. It could have been worse it could have been cold dirty water, or I could have had no dry clothes. Luckily the water was warm and clear, and I had clean dry clothes on the boat. That was the first time I have fallen all the way in the water. Not too bad for 6 years on the job. You just have to look at the bright side of things I guess and be able to laugh at yourself. Well the fishing sucked today. We were 0 for 3 on sailfish, and the Bonita's were vicious. Now I am back living on the boat and missing Kristen. I'll post some pictures of her stay. Oh, Carnival started yesterday and the Island is having a big throw down party. Anyway more tomorrow.

Lack of Post's

As you know Kristen is here. Unfortunately she leaves tomorrow. The fishing has been kind of slow. It was rough today so we came home early with no bites.

Yeah!

Kristen got here today, good fishing. We caught 13 today. Thats it.
