With the exception of a thunderstorm this morning, it was a beautiful day. The tunas weren't as active, but the dolphins saved the day.

We headed up the line again this morning. I knew after looking at the satelite shot this morning that hot water had covered up the area we fished yesterday, but my group was willing to take the gamble with me, so off we went. We weren't there long before I saw the birds over the tuna busting the water. I made a couple of passes, and we hooked a single nice fish, but he pulled off after several minutes. We got going again and hooked another single, but he came off too. By then, the squalls to the southwest had gotten to us, and it started to rain a flood. The rain didn't bother me so much, but the bolts of lightning got on my nerves. I worked inshore to get around it, and after the weather had moved on, I fished back out to where I had seen some life. When I got there, it looked like a graveyard. Dead. We looked around for a long while, and never saw any sign of a tuna nor did we have any more bites. Fortunately I found a couple of floats that had some dolphin around them. We wound up with 25 or so, three or four were pretty nice gaffers. My group had a ball, and were a treat to have on board. I think we're gonna try it up the line again tomorrow, so wish me luck!
