Today starts with a team meeting to discuss the forecast as well as all the options available. The guys make a cautious decision and choose to hang closer to the beach than they originally planned on. After a 50 minute boat ride we arrive at the “turkey” hill and Dave throws out the spread. The action is super fast on these hard pulling little tunas. After a couple passes our long bait takes off and we add a super nice mahi to the box. After about two hours of non stop action and kinda sore arms we make the call to push off a couple miles in hopes of picking up another mahi or two. Beyond my wildest expectations over the next 2½ hours we add six more mahi to the box. There were days this season I would have been thrilled for this catch 60 miles offshore let alone only being 25 miles off the beach, WOW!!
