Captain's Log: April 5, 2008

| Today Jimmy, Jasco, Norling, and I snuck out dawn patrol on the Va Pue to try and catch the first wahoo of the year. Unfortunately the wahoo have not shown up yet, but there was plenty of other action to go around. We started out trolling and caught a nice Mackeral, Roosterfish, and some Jacks. It was kinda slow, so we decided to test out a new kite that Jimmy just brought down. We anchored up and started chumming and working Sabikis to catch some live bait. We ended up catching a couple of grunts and sent them out on the kite. Sure enough, a big pack of snappers came to the surface and starting beating the crap out of the bait until one finally got hooked! What a rush, big topwater live bait hits by Snapper! The highlight was a 25+ pound snapper bull dogging a bait just behind the boat on the surface. We also managed to coax a Yellowfin into our kite setup! It turned out to be a great day and we are stoked to add something new to our artillery! |
