Started today with the guys trying to decide what they’d like to do on their eight hour trip. Two of the guys wanted a little less fishing time but wanted to look for bluefin . The other three wanted action and small fish were ok, they didn’t wish to fish all day for only a couple bites which has been our tuna fishing the last two days. The final decision is to have more fishing time and action on small fish. Arrived at the lump and proceeded to put about 15 fish in the box in the first thirty minutes. At that point things kinda went downhill when the guys decided they didn’t want to mess with these fish and wanted mahi which have been a little scares the last week or so. Moved over to some sea bass gear that was nearby and proceeded to work that gear and another set of gear the rest of the trip. We were able to manage one 8# mahi around the gear but that was our only bite. Back in the slip it was apparent the guys were not happy at all with the trip and headed back to DC with their catch
