September 3rd - Pat, Joe, and Corey anchored about 100 ft from us at the reef. They caught 31 keeper yellowtails and several cero mackerel while they were there.

September 12th - 8-10ft lazy ground swells are no big deal. But the inlet breakers keep my 21ft boat at the dock.

September 16th - Catching bait Friday evening with Joe.

 

September 17th - Joe and Scoot with a few of the day's catch, and the first blackfin tuna on Uncle Buck.

 

September 17th - Me and Scoot.

 

September 17th - The day's keepers: 6 mahi-mahi, 9 yellowtail snapper, 1 mutton snapper, 1 blackfin tuna, and 1 cero mackerel.

 

September 25th - 3 blackfin tuna and a 6lb mahi-mahi.

 

October 1st - 3-5ft on top of 8-10ft swells... but the blackfins were all over.

 

October 1st - Destined to become strips and chunks.

 

October 1st - I trolled a spread of 5 homemade daisy chains to catch these 14 blackfin tuna footballs and 4 schoolie mahi-mahi.

 

October 1st - Fresh blackfin sashimi... oh yeah.

 

October 12th - A convenient way to freeze bullet bonito.

 

October 12th - They also come in 18-packs.

 

October 15th - Joe, Joe, & Kristine. It was pretty rough so we were only out for about 45 minutes, but we managed to get this one kingfish while trolling.

 

October 15th - Joe fishing at Boyton Inlet. He's describing the size of the snook that "got away".
