Marlin Action

More marlin action offshore!

When I got to the dock this morning, I had already heard that the marlin fishing was great yesterday. I also had heard that things were a little slow in the meat department. I tried to feel out my party to see what they wanted to do, and marlins were fine with them, they fished yesterday, and had enough meat to take home. <BR>We headed off, in the midst of numerous rain squalls, to the hundred. It wasn't long before we had a white raise to a shortrigger. We got him switched off, but it just wasn't meant to be. Off we went, and not too long before we were hooked up to a doubleheader whites. We got the first one, and backed to within ten feet of the leader on the second, before he made a lucky jump, and...gone. Now, that was the extent of our action for the day, but there were other boats that raised fish during the rest of the morning, and afternoon. I heard of three blue marlin caught in the fleet, quite a few whites, and a handful of sails. I think maybe the top boat had four fish. Nothing changed from yesterday on the meatfish, just a very scattered dolphin and wahoo.<BR>I apologize for no picture, I use an ancient digital camera, and today it showed me the image I took, but it doesn't appear to be on the card. With a little luck, my wife can find it.
